Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz shrimp and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until pink and just cooked through, then transfer shrimp to a plate.
Step 2: In the same wok, add 2 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 3: Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp minced fresh ginger to the broccoli, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Return the shrimp to the wok and add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp honey, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the shrimp and broccoli.
Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions on top before serving warm.
