The dish comes together in just 25 minutes, making it a quick and healthy option for busy nights. Perfectly balanced with a slight kick from optional red pepper flakes, this stir-fry is as vibrant in flavor as it is in color.

Prepare the sauce by whisking together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Blanch the broccoli florets for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until warmed through but still crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and broccoli. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optional: Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
