Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

3 cups fresh broccoli florets

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chicken broth until smooth and fully combined. In a separate small bowl, combine the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of the sauce mixture, stirring until no lumps remain. Add this mixture back into the main sauce, and set aside for later use.

    Sauté the Broccoli: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until they turn a vibrant green and are tender-crisp to the bite. Remove the sautéed broccoli from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

      Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the sesame oil and allow it to heat up for a minute. Once hot, arrange the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

        Combine Ingredients: Return the sautéed broccoli to the skillet with the shrimp. Pour the honey-garlic sauce over the mixture and gently stir to combine everything thoroughly. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, which will help the sauce thicken and coat the shrimp and broccoli evenly.

          Serve: Once cooked to perfection, remove the skillet from heat. Spoon the shrimp and broccoli stir-fry over bowls of cooked rice or noodles, allowing any excess sauce from the skillet to drizzle over the top.

            Garnish and Enjoy: Finish your dish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a fresh crunch. Dive in and enjoy your sweet and savory honey garlic shrimp and broccoli stir-fry!
