Ingredients
  

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups broccoli florets

3 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish

Optional: Green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Broccoli: Begin by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for about 2 minutes until vibrant green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately submerge them in ice water. This will stop the cooking process and keep the broccoli crisp. Set aside.

    Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger. In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Combine both mixtures and set aside.

      Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil and sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the shrimp is pink and opaque. Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

        Add Sauce and Broccoli: Once the shrimp is cooked, pour in the sauce mixture. Stir well to coat the shrimp. Add the blanched broccoli florets to the skillet, mixing everything together. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

          Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
