Honey Sesame Shrimp

HONEY SESAME SHRIMP

This honey sesame-sauce shrimp and broccoli stir fry are quick and healthful. It just takes 15 minutes to put together!

I can’t get enough of this Asian-inspired honey sesame shrimp dish. If you can’t get enough shrimp, honey sesame sauce, and fresh broccoli, there’s no better way to eat it than in one skillet.

It’s great that the recipe is so simple and requires only a few everyday household items.

You’ll need honey, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and apple cider vinegar to make the honey sesame sauce. For the shrimp, I always use frozen raw shrimp that have been shelled and deveined but still have the tails on.

This honey sesame shrimp meal takes no more than 15 minutes from preparation to serving. The final product is a nutritious meal that may be served for dinner or lunch on a busy weeknight.

Everyone at the dinner table loved the garlic noodles I prepared with this dish!
