Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Set the sauce aside.
In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Pour the honey lime sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve hot, over cooked rice if desired.
