- 1 pound shrimp - 2 cups broccoli florets - 1/4 cup honey - 3 tablespoons soy sauce - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 4 cloves garlic - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes - Salt and pepper to taste - Toasted sesame seeds - Chopped green onions You will need fresh shrimp and broccoli for this dish. Use one pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined. This step is key to a great texture. For the broccoli, two cups of florets work well. They add color and crunch. Next, gather your sauces. You need a quarter cup of honey for sweetness and three tablespoons of soy sauce for depth. Olive oil helps mix everything together and adds a light flavor. You’ll also need garlic. Four cloves will give a nice punch. Don’t forget the fresh ginger! One teaspoon adds warmth. If you like heat, add half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, for garnishes, toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions enhance the dish. They add a lovely finishing touch. To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature helps cook the shrimp and broccoli perfectly. Next, grab a large baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. This makes cleanup easy and prevents sticking. In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup honey, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. If you like some heat, toss in 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. This marinade adds great flavor to the shrimp. When marinating shrimp, remember to coat them well. Let them sit in the marinade for about 15 minutes. This step is key for tasty shrimp. Now it’s time to assemble! Place 2 cups of broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with the remaining marinade. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Toss the broccoli to coat it nicely. After 15 minutes, spread the marinated shrimp over the broccoli. Make sure they are in a single layer for even cooking. Roast everything in the oven for 12-15 minutes. The shrimp should turn pink and opaque, while the broccoli stays tender yet crisp. Once done, remove the pan and give everything a gentle toss to coat in the sauce. To get the best flavor, you should marinate the shrimp well. Use half of the marinade to coat the shrimp evenly. This helps the shrimp soak up the honey and garlic taste. Let the shrimp sit in the marinade for about 15 minutes. This short time is enough to add flavor without making the shrimp tough. When cooking, spread the shrimp and broccoli in a single layer on the sheet pan. This helps them cook evenly. Make sure the shrimp do not touch each other. This way, they will roast nicely. To avoid overcooking shrimp, keep an eye on them. They should turn pink and opaque in about 12 to 15 minutes. If they cook too long, they can become rubbery. Garnishing your dish makes it look more appealing. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top before serving. This adds crunch and color. When serving, place the shrimp and broccoli on a nice plate. You can also drizzle some extra sauce from the pan over the top for added flavor. Enjoy your meal! {{image_2}} You can cook this dish in a few ways. The air fryer is a great option. To use it, set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Toss the marinated shrimp and broccoli in the air fryer basket. Cook them for about 8-10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through. This method gives you a crispy texture and fast cooking time. If you prefer the stovetop, use a large pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and let it warm up. Then, add the broccoli first. Sauté it for about 3-4 minutes. Next, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink. This method allows you to watch the cooking process closely. You can switch up the veggies in this dish. Snow peas or bell peppers work well. They add color and crunch. You can also use asparagus or green beans. Just cut them to a similar size as the broccoli. For sweeteners, honey is not the only choice. You can use maple syrup for a different flavor. Agave nectar is another option that works well. Both will keep the sweetness and help with the sauce. If you like more heat, add extra red pepper flakes. You could also use hot sauce for a different kick. Start with a little, then taste and adjust as needed. To brighten the dish, add some citrus. A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice can enhance the flavor. It cuts through the sweetness and adds a fresh taste. You can also add zest for more citrus notes. To keep your honey garlic shrimp and broccoli fresh, use airtight containers. Glass containers work best. They help avoid any unwanted smells. Plastic containers are also fine. Store them in the fridge. Your dish stays good for about three days. When you're ready to enjoy leftovers, you have a few options. You can use the microwave. Heat on medium power for about 1-2 minutes. Stir halfway to heat evenly. You can also use the oven. Preheat to 350°F (175°C), then warm for about 10 minutes. Make sure to check that the shrimp heats through and is hot all the way. This keeps your meal safe to eat. Enjoy your dish warm and tasty! Yes, you can use frozen shrimp. Just make sure to thaw them first. Place the shrimp in a bowl of cold water for about 15-20 minutes. This helps them thaw quickly and keeps them from cooking unevenly. Pat them dry with paper towels before marinating. This gives your shrimp a better texture and helps the marinade stick. You have many options! Here are some ideas: - Steamed rice or jasmine rice - Quinoa for a healthy twist - Noodles for added texture - A fresh green salad for crunch - Garlic bread for a cozy touch Each option complements the sweet and savory flavors of the shrimp and broccoli.

Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups broccoli florets

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). This will be your marinade.

      In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp and half of the marinade, tossing to coat the shrimp evenly. Allow it to marinate for about 15 minutes.

        Meanwhile, place the broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with the remaining marinade and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.

          After 15 minutes, spread the marinated shrimp over the broccoli on the baking sheet. Arrange them in a single layer for even cooking.

            Roast in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the broccoli is tender but slightly crisp.

              Remove the sheet pan from the oven and give everything a gentle toss to coat in the sauce that has formed.

                Serve warm, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor.
