Honey Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry

This shrimp and broccoli stir fry is perfect for those busy nights when you need a fresh dinner on the table in no time. This meal is done in just 20 minutes!

The funny thing about blogging is you just never know when a recipe is going to take off. Some of my earlier hits were chicken and broccoli stir fry and lemon asparagus pasta. Then it was honey garlic chicken stir fry which has become the all time most popular recipe on my site! Now I’m back with another stir fry, this time we’re got an amazing honey garlic shrimp stir fry. It’s loaded with shrimp and veggies all coated in an easy 4 ingredient sauce!

How to make honey garlic shrimp

The ingredients for this shrimp and broccoli stir fry are quite simple. You’ve got your shrimp, your broccoli, a little oil, soy sauce, honey and cornstarch for thickening. That’s really all there is to it! The shrimp and broccoli are cooked, then the sauce is poured over the top and simmered until it’s thick and shiny. Add a side of rice and dinner is served!

The beauty of this recipe is that it’s super easy to customize to your liking. Not a broccoli fan? Try carrots, asparagus, mushrooms, snow peas, or a combination of vegetables. You can also do different flavor variations on the sauce by adding ingredients like minced ginger, sesame oil or even a little orange juice. I always get a lot of commentary every time I post a photo of shrimp with the tails still on. Here’s my take on the whole thing. Shrimp with the tails on are more attractive than shrimp with the tails off. That being said, it’s not always easy to eat shrimp with the tails on, especially in a stir fry. So it’s your choice as to whether the shrimp tails stay on or come off.

Honey Garlic Shrimp Serving Suggestions

I like to serve this dish over rice (brown or white). I’ve also served this shrimp over Asian style noodles like chow mein noodles or soba noodles with great success. This stir fry can also be served over quinoa or cauliflower rice. Basically you’re looking for some type of starch to absorb all that wonderful sauce!
