Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup honey 84 g
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce 45 mL
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste 4 g
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic 15 g
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup cornstarch 40 g
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined (removing tail is optional) 454 g
  • 1 tablespoon butter 14 g
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil 32 g
  • 1 large broccoli head cut just the crowns into bite size pieces 600 g

Instructions
 

  • Combine the honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Add the shrimp to a bowl along with the cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine. You'll want to shake off the excess cornstarch when you go to cook the shrimp.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the oil and cook the shrimp until it's just turned pink yet the crust is golden brown (about 1-2 minutes on each side). Set the shrimp aside on a plate.
  • Add more oil to the skillet if needed. Saute the broccoli for 4-5 minutes, or until it's crisp and tender. Add the sauce to the pan and once it's heated, add the shrimp back to the pan. Cook the shrimp and broccoli stir fry for 1 minute until the shrimp is heated through.
  • Garnish the broccoli shrimp stir fry with chopped fresh parsley, and red pepper flakes if you want a little more heat. Enjoy!

Notes

  • We used a cast iron skillet to get a nice brown crust on the shrimp. You can also use a nonstick skillet and reduce the oil and/or butter if preferred.
  • Instead of coating the shrimp with cornstarch in a bowl, you can also add the mix to a Ziplock bag and shake it until the shrimp is coated.
  • You can also use this same recipe for chicken bites or steak bites! Just pan-fry the meat until it's just cooked through and add it back to the pan when you add the sauce.
  • We highly recommend doubling this recipe! Leftovers are great for meal prep lunches served with rice, cauliflower rice, or sweet potatoes on the side.
