Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional for added heat)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar or lime juice, sriracha, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add onion, broccoli florets, and red bell pepper to the same pan. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Return cooked shrimp to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss to combine. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  6. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Use fresh or fully thawed shrimp for best texture.
  • Customize the spice level by adjusting sriracha and red pepper flakes.
  • Double the sauce if serving with rice or noodles for extra coverage.
  • Stir-fry vegetables should remain crisp for best texture.
  • Prep the sauce and veggies ahead for an even faster cook time.
