Description

Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups broccoli florets

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Peel and devein the shrimp if needed. Wash and cut broccoli into florets.
  2. In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp. Remove and set aside.

Notes

Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Swap shrimp with chicken or tofu for variety.

Use tamari for a gluten-free option.

Try different veggies like snap peas, asparagus, or bell peppers.

Add sesame oil for a richer flavor.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently in a skillet.
