Description
A vibrant and flavorful Honey Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry loaded with protein and fresh vegetables, perfect for quick weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. raw shrimp, thawed, peeled, and tails removed
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 lb. asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 to 3 inch pieces
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced
- Hot cooked rice (optional)
Instructions
- Place cleaned shrimp in a bowl and set aside.
- Combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl; pour half over the shrimp and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, add asparagus, bell pepper, and onion; sauté until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
- Add remaining butter to the skillet; add shrimp (discard any used marinade). Cook shrimp about 1 minute per side until caramelized and cooked through.
- Add veggies and reserved sauce to skillet and heat through. Serve over hot cooked rice if desired.
- Optional: To thicken sauce, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tsp cold water; pour into skillet and stir until sauce thickens.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the shrimp in the skillet to ensure the best texture. For extra heat, add red pepper flakes when sautéing veggies. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil for added richness.
