Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for soy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, carrots, etc.)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add more oil if needed, then sauté vegetables for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, and garlic. Whisk in cornstarch if a thicker sauce is desired.
  5. Pour sauce over the vegetables and simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Return shrimp to the pan and toss to coat and heat through.
  7. Serve hot over rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

  • Use chicken or tofu instead of shrimp for variation.
  • Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat.
  • Substitute low-sodium soy sauce, tamari (for gluten-free), or coconut aminos.
  • Use any fresh or frozen vegetables on hand.
  • Avoid overcooking shrimp during reheating to maintain texture.
