Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 4 minced garlic cloves; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add 3 cups broccoli florets and 2 tbsp water. Cover and steam for 3-4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return shrimp to the skillet. Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Toss everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the shrimp and broccoli.
