Description
A quick and flavorful dinner ready in just 20 minutes, featuring tender shrimp, vibrant veggies, and a sweet-and-savory honey sesame sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
- 2 bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- Steamed rice or cooked noodles, for serving
Instructions
- If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely and pat dry with a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
- Slice bell peppers, chop broccoli into bite-sized florets, and trim snap peas if necessary.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add vegetables and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Return shrimp to the pan and pour the sauce over the top. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot over rice or noodles.
Notes
Toast the sesame seeds for extra flavor. Use high heat for stir-frying to achieve a smoky flavor. Adjust the sauce to taste by adding more soy sauce for saltiness or honey for sweetness.
