Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1.5 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 teaspoons sriracha or chili paste
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 red bell pepper, julienned
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice or rice noodles (optional)
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha to create the marinade and sauce.

Step 2

Place the shrimp in a separate bowl and pour half of the marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Reserve the other half of the marinade for later.

Step 3

While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the vegetables by slicing the red bell pepper and cutting the broccoli into bite-sized florets.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp (discard the marinade used for the shrimp) and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of neutral oil. Add the red bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour in the reserved sauce. Toss everything together until coated and heated through, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Serve immediately over cooked jasmine rice or rice noodles, if desired. Garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro for an extra layer of flavor.
