Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds medium shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 3 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (you could also use olive oil)
  • 2 cups steamed broccoli (I use Publix "steam in bag")

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and garlic.
  • Scoop out ⅓ cup of the sauce and set it aside to use later. 
  • Add your shrimp to the bowl with the remaining marinade and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes. 
  • While your shrimp is marinading you can steam your veggies. I use Publix "steam in bag" veggies so I pop it in the microwave and just let it hang out until I need it. If you are making this with rice, you can also start that while the shrimp is marinading. (This is the rice cooker that I use. You can actually steam veggies in there too!)
  • When you're ready to cook the shrimp, add your butter to a skillet on medium-high heat. When the butter is melted, take a slotted spoon and add in just the shrimp. You can discard the marinade. 
  • Cook the shrimp for about 1 minute per side. 
  • Add the steamed broccoli and ⅓ cup of reserved sauce to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes. 
  • I serve mine over white rice and a little extra squeeze of lime juice on top. :)

Notes

I used broccoli for this recipe because it's my favorite but you could use any veggie you like!
