Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until pink. Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. Add vegetables to the skillet and stir fry until tender-crisp, about 3–5 minutes.
  5. Pour the sauce into the pan with the vegetables. If using, stir in a cornstarch slurry to thicken.
  6. Return shrimp to the pan and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
  7. Serve immediately over rice or noodles, garnished with green onions.

Notes

  • Swap shrimp with chicken or beef for variety.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different flavor.
  • Add chili flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
  • Top with cashews or sesame seeds for crunch.
  • Prep sauce and veggies ahead to save time on busy nights.
