Honey garlic butter shrimp is quick and easy and a guaranteed hit!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (or 1/4 ground)
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled, deveined and tails removed if desired)
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups broccoli (cut into bite sized pieces)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step: In a small bowl add the honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, red pepper, and mix until combined.
- Step: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp into a bowl and add 1/3 of the sauce.
- Step: Whisk in the cornstarch to the reserved marinade and set aside.
- Step: Heat a skillet (I use cast iron) or wok on high heat, add olive oil and broccoli, salt and pepper and cook 5-6 minutes just until soft. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Step: Add the butter to the skillet and add shrimp discarding any marinade. Cook until the shrimp turns pink about 2 minutes on each side.

- Step: Add in the broccoli and toss until heated through.
- Step: Serve over rice or pasta.
Notes
Marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes for a deeper flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can use jumbo 16/20 size shrimp or any size available.
