Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp and Broccoli: Thaw the shrimp if frozen, and pat them dry. Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets.
Cook the Shrimp: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes on each side until pink. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Sauté Broccoli: In the same skillet, add broccoli and a splash of water. Cover and steam for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Make the Sauce: Push the broccoli to the side. Add minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and a little butter to the pan. Stir and let the sauce simmer for 1–2 minutes.
Combine: Return the shrimp to the pan, toss with broccoli and sauce until everything is evenly coated.
Serve: Plate immediately with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or green onions if desired.

Notes

For a low-carb option, serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness.
Ensure not to overcook the shrimp to maintain their tender texture.
