Description
This Honey Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry is more than just a meal; it’s an experience bursting with vibrant flavors and textures.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed
- 360 ml broccoli florets
- 60 ml red bell pepper, sliced
- 60 ml onion, sliced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 120 ml honey
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, start by whisking together the soy sauce, honey, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic. This mixture serves as the flavor powerhouse for the dish. Once it’s well combined, sprinkle in the cornstarch to thicken the sauce, making sure to blend it until it dissolves completely.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red bell pepper and onions to the pan, stirring frequently for about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Once your veggies are nearly done, it’s time to add the unsalted butter into the pan. Let it melt completely, then add your shrimp. Cook the shrimp for approximately 2 minutes on each side until they turn opaque.
- Now, pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and veggies in the pan. Stir constantly to allow the sauce to coat all the ingredients evenly. As the heat continues, you’ll notice the sauce thicken and become glossy.
Notes
This dish pairs wonderfully with cooked jasmine or basmati rice, soaking up any extra sauce left on the plate.
