Ingredients
1 lb. large uncooked shrimp
2 tablespoons peanut oil (can substitute olive oil)
3 cups broccoli florets
Sauce:
1 ½ cups chicken broth
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (optional)
½ teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch red pepper flakes
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup cold water
For Serving:
3 cups cooked rice
Green onions, to garnish
Roughly chopped honey roasted peanuts, to garnish
Instructions
Thaw the shrimp completely and pat them dry. Remove the shell, tail, and veins if necessary.
In a small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients except for the cornstarch and water. Set aside.
Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for approximately 1 minute and 20 seconds per side. Transfer shrimp to a plate.
In the same skillet, add broccoli and sauté for about 4 minutes until slightly softened.
Mix cornstarch with ¼ cup cold water until smooth.
Return the sauce to the skillet and bring to a boil. Gradually stir in the cornstarch mixture until the sauce thickens.
Reduce heat to low, add the broccoli back, and cover partially, letting it heat for 2-3 minutes.
Add the shrimp back to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them, and heat through for about 1 minute.
Serve over cooked rice, garnished with green onions and chopped peanuts.
