1-First, gather all your ingredients to make cooking smooth and fun! Start by mixing honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. This sets the stage for that amazing honey garlic shrimp broccoli flavor you love.

2-Next, place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a bowl and add one-third of the sauce to marinate them briefly. Don’t forget to discard the marinade after this step for safety. Then, whisk cornstarch into the rest of the sauce and set it aside for later.

3-Heat a skillet or wok on high heat and add olive oil, broccoli, salt, and pepper. Cook the broccoli for 5-6 minutes until it’s slightly softened, then remove it and set it aside. This keeps the veggies crisp and full of color in your honey garlic shrimp broccoli.

4-Now, add butter to the skillet and cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side until they’re pink. Pour in the reserved sauce and simmer on low-medium heat for 2-3 minutes until it thickens nicely. Finally, toss the broccoli back in and heat everything through before serving over rice or pasta.
