Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 250 grams broccoli florets
- 150 grams corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and corn kernels to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the corn is heated through.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together to coat well with the sauce.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and everything is evenly coated.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions if desired. Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
