Instructions

Follow these easy steps to whip up your Honey Garlic Butter Shrimp & Broccoli:

1. Prep Ingredients: Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp if they are not already, and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
2. Cook Broccoli: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

5. Make Sauce: Reduce heat to low and add honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir well, allowing the shrimp to be coated in the sauce.
6. Combine: Add the sautéed broccoli back to the skillet and toss everything together until well mixed.
7. Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot over a bed of rice or quinoa if desired.
