Why This Recipe is Awesome

Ingredients Youll Need

• 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
• 3 cups broccoli florets because green things need love too
• 2 tablespoons olive oil use extra if your pan is clingy
• 2 tablespoons honey for that sweet sticky glow
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce salty but not sad
• 2 garlic cloves minced because garlic is life
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated optional but highly recommended for sass
• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes optional for heat and attitude
• Salt and pepper to taste sprinkle like you mean it
• Fresh lemon wedges for serving because acid wakes everything up

Step by Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 F and line a sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup. Get the oven hot so it can do its magic.
2. Toss broccoli on the sheet pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread florets into a single layer. Crowded broccoli equals steamed broccoli not roasted broccoli.
3. Roast broccoli for 10 minutes to start getting it tender and a little charred in spots. Set a timer and distract yourself briefly with something useful like setting the table.
4. Meanwhile make the sauce by whisking the honey soy sauce olive oil garlic ginger and chili flakes in a small bowl. Taste and adjust if you want it sweeter saltier or spicier.
5. Add the shrimp to the sheet pan in a single layer on the edges or open space left by the broccoli. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and toss gently to coat. Try not to toss your pan like a professional chef unless you are a professional.
6. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast everything together for 6 to 8 minutes until shrimp turn pink and opaque and broccoli has lovely browned edges. Shrimp cook fast so watch them. If you see gray translucent bits they need another minute.
7. Remove the pan from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon wedges over everything. Give a final sprinkle of salt and pepper if needed.
8. Plate and serve immediately with rice noodles rice or a casual fistful of confidence. Eat while hot and brag to no one in particular about how easy it was.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Thinking you do not need to preheat the oven rookie mistake. A hot oven gets you caramelization fast.
• Overcrowding the pan which gives you mushy broccoli and shy shrimp. Give them breathing room.
• Using too much sauce too early which can steam instead of roast. Toss gently and use just enough to coat.
• Ignoring the shrimp cooking time and walking away. Shrimp go from perfect to rubbery in a blink. Set a timer.
• Not tasting your sauce. If it is too sweet add a splash of soy sauce or lemon. If it is too salty add a dash of honey. You control the vibe.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• No shrimp available Use peeled and sliced chicken breast or thigh pieces You may need a few extra minutes in the oven. IMO chicken is great if you want something heartier.
• Vegetarian mood Tofu works great. Use extra firm tofu press it well toss in cornstarch and roast until edges crisp. Swap honey for maple if you want vegan.
• Broccoli not your jam Use asparagus Brussels sprouts or green beans instead. Adjust roast time slightly depending on the veg.
• No soy sauce Tamari works for gluten free and coconut aminos work if you want something lighter in sodium and flavor.
• Want nuttiness Add a splash of toasted sesame oil or finish with toasted sesame seeds for crunch.
• Need heat Swap chili flakes for sriracha or a splash of hot sauce in the sauce mix. Start small and add like you own it.
• Out of honey Maple syrup or agave does the job and gives slightly different but still awesome notes.

My honest take is that this recipe shines when you keep it simple but let the sauce be the star. A little citrus and a tiny pinch of chili go a long way.

FAQ

Q Why wont my shrimp turn pink and firm

Q Can I double the recipe for company

A Add a squirt of sriracha or a pinch of cayenne to the sauce Start small and taste as you go you control the burn

Q Can I meal prep this
A Yes roast shrimp and broccoli then cool and store in airtight containers Keep sauce separate if you like it fresher Reheat gently or eat cold if you are brave
