Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper to make the sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables.
Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, tossing everything to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice, noodles, or on its own for a lighter option.
