Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (use low sodium or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1–2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil

Instructions

  1. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and toss in a bowl with cornstarch mixed with water to coat lightly. (5 minutes)
  2. Whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside. (2 minutes)
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add broccoli, bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. (4 minutes)
  4. Push veggies to the side, add shrimp in a single layer, and cook 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Avoid overcrowding. (4 minutes)
  5. Pour sauce over shrimp and veggies, stir to combine, and cook 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats everything. (2 minutes)
  6. Remove from heat, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if using, and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles. (1 minute)

Notes

Pat shrimp dry before cooking to ensure better texture and sauce adhesion. Watch the sauce closely to avoid burning; it should thicken and become sticky but not bitter. Prep veggies ahead to save time. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
