Instructions

  • In a small bowl add the honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, red pepper and mix until combined.
  • Place the peeled and deveined shrimp into a bowl and add 1/3 of the sauce. Toss and marinade 30 minutes.
  • Whisk in the cornstarch to the reserved marinade and set aside.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet 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.
  • Add the butter to the skillet and add shrimp discarding and marinade. Cook until the shrimp turns pink about 2 minutes each side.
  • Add in the reserved sauce and bring to a simmer. Add in the broccoli and toss until heated through.

Notes

I leave the shrimp tails on. It adds more flavor and looks prettier. But you can remove them if you want.
