Description
This honey garlic shrimp stir fry is everything I crave on a busy weeknight fast, flavorful, and brimming with vibrant color. Sweet honey clings to tender shrimp, garlic perfumes the air, and every vegetable sings with crunch and life.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the stir fry:
- 1 lb. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 head broccoli, chopped
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 2 cups snow peas
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Green onion, for garnish
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the shrimp and cook 2 minutes per side or until pink and opaque. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining oil, broccoli, bell peppers, and snow peas.
- Cook for 5–6 minutes until the peppers start to blister and the broccoli is bright green.
- Stir in the minced garlic and return the shrimp to the skillet. Sauté everything together for about a minute.
- Reduce heat to low and pour in the honey garlic sauce. Stir gently for about 10 seconds until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
- Top with chopped green onion and serve hot over rice, noodles, or your favorite grain.
Notes
Pat shrimp dry before cooking for better sear. Don't overcook—remove as soon as shrimp turn pink. Use tamari for gluten-free, and sub tofu for vegan version. Sauce can be doubled and stored in fridge. Great with rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice.
