Some nights you just need dinner to happen fast, without a sink full of dishes or a long list of ingredients. That’s exactly where this Honey Garlic Shrimp & Broccoli comes in. Juicy shrimp and tender-crisp broccoli get tossed in a glossy honey garlic glaze that’s sweet, savory, and just a little bit sticky in the best way.
Everything cooks in one pan, start to finish, in about 20 minutes. The shrimp sear up plump and golden, the broccoli soaks up all that garlicky sauce, and dinner is on the table before anyone has a chance to ask what’s to eat. This is one of those recipes that never lasts long at our table — the sauce alone will have you reaching for extra rice to sop it all up.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- One pan and minimal cleanup
- Ready in about 25 minutes, start to finish
- High in protein and full of flavor
- Made with simple pantry ingredients
Tips & Variations
- Serve it over steamed rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice to soak up the extra sauce.
- Don’t overcook the shrimp — a couple of minutes per side is all they need. Overcooked shrimp turn rubbery.
- Like a little heat? Don’t skip the red pepper flakes.
- Swap the broccoli for snap peas, bell peppers, or green beans — whatever you have on hand works.
Ingredients
Directions
Season the shrimp with the black pepper (and a pinch of salt if you like).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side, until pink and just cooked through. Remove to a plate.
In the same pan, add the broccoli and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp.
Stir in the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil. Let the sauce bubble for about a minute, until slightly thickened and glossy.
Return the shrimp to the pan and toss everything together for 1–2 minutes, until well coated in the glaze.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve hot.
Conclusion
Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium-low heat so the shrimp stay tender.
