Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 bell pepper (your choice of red, yellow, or green), sliced into thin strips

1 cup snap peas, trimmed at both ends

1 cup broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the mixture, tossing to ensure each shrimp is evenly coated. Let them marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

    Prepare the Vegetables: During the marination period, wash and slice the bell pepper into thin strips. Trim the ends of the snap peas, and if your broccoli is not pre-cut, chop it into small florets.

      Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to get hot but make sure it does not reach the smoking point.

        Cook the Vegetables: Once the oil is heated, add the sliced bell pepper, trimmed snap peas, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender yet still crisp. Remove the cooked vegetables from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

          Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the marinated shrimp along with any remaining marinade. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Ensuring even cooking is key here.

            Combine Everything: When the shrimp are fully cooked, return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet. Toss the shrimp and vegetables together for about one additional minute to heat everything through and blend the flavors nicely.

              Serve: Take the skillet off the heat and serve the delicious honey garlic shrimp stir-fry over a bed of cooked rice or noodles. For an elegant finish, sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds to add an extra layer of flavor and texture.

                Enjoy: Dive into your quick and tasty honey garlic shrimp stir-fry and savor every bite!
