Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups broccoli florets

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked rice or quinoa for serving

Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Blanch the Broccoli: Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2 minutes. Remove the broccoli, drain, and place it in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.

      Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger (if using). Set the sauce aside.

        Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

          Add the Broccoli and Sauce: Once the shrimp is cooked, add the blanched broccoli to the skillet. Pour the honey-garlic sauce over the shrimp and broccoli. Toss everything together to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

            Serve: Remove from heat and serve the honey garlic shrimp and broccoli over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
