Shrimp and broccoli in a delicious sticky sauce. My favourite weeknight meal – so easy, one of the quickest dishes to throw together, and comes out beautifully. A guaranteed hit, perfect for the family, and for entertaining.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 c. honey
1/4 c. soy sauce
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
2 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp cornstarch
1 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed if desired
2 tbsp butter
2 c. chopped broccoli
1 tsp olive oil
salt pepper
HOW TO MAKE HONEY GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP & BROCCOLI
Step 1: Add the honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, red pepper to a small bowl and mix well.
Step 2: Into a bowl, place the peeled and deveined shrimp. Add in 1/3 of the sauce and toss. Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3: To the reserved marinade, whisk in the cornstarch. Set aside.
Step 4: Over high heat, heat a skillet or wok. Once hot, add the olive oil and broccoli to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook the broccoli for about 5 to 6 minutes until just tender. Take the broccoli out of the pan and set it aside.
Step 5: To the skillet, add the butter. Once melted, add the shrimp but discard the marinade. Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side until the shrimp is pink.
Step 6: Pour in the reserved sauce to the shrimp and let it simmer. Add in the broccoli and toss until heated through.
Step 7: Serve the Honey Garlic Butter Shrimp and Broccoli with white rice or pasta. If desired, garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
NOTE:
If desired, you can leave the shrimp tails on like I did as it adds extra flavour to the dish and the shrimp looks prettier that way. Or remove the tails if that is what you want.
