Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 bell pepper (any color of your choice), sliced into thin strips

1 cup snap peas, trimmed and washed

1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create your marinade. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp, ensuring they are fully coated, and let them marinate for approximately 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

    Prepare the Vegetables: While the shrimp is marinating, wash and slice the bell pepper into thin strips. Trim the ends off the snap peas, and if the broccoli isn't already in florets, chop it into bite-sized pieces.

      Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to heat until it's shimmering but not smoking.

        Cook the Vegetables: Carefully add the sliced bell pepper, snap peas, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly while remaining vibrant and crisp. Once done, transfer the vegetables to a plate and set them aside.

          Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, introduce the marinated shrimp, along with all the marinade. Sauté the shrimp for about 3-5 minutes or until they are fully cooked, turning pink and opaque. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking throughout.

            Combine: Once the shrimp are cooked, return the previously sautéed vegetables to the skillet. Toss everything together to allow the flavors to meld and heat through, cooking for an additional minute.

              Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the honey garlic shrimp stir-fry hot over a bed of cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an extra crunch and flavor boost.

                Enjoy: Dig into your beautifully vibrant and flavorful honey garlic shrimp stir-fry!
