Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Vegetables

  • 1 lb fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 cups broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces

Sauce Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp plant-based butter
  • 2 tbsp honey (natural)
  • 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (natural)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they sear properly. Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince fresh garlic to release its aroma and flavor.
  2. Cook the Broccoli: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté until they are just tender and bright green, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sear the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and develop a slight caramelization. Remove the shrimp and keep warm.
  4. Make the Honey Garlic Butter Sauce: Lower the heat to medium. Add the plant-based butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir until fragrant. Then add honey (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), lemon juice (natural), and red pepper flakes if using. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and stir until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Combine and Serve: Return the cooked shrimp and broccoli to the skillet. Toss everything gently in the honey garlic butter sauce until evenly coated and heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for better searing and flavor.
  • Do not overcook shrimp; remove as soon as they turn pink and opaque.
  • Keep broccoli slightly crisp to contrast the texture of the shrimp.
  • Add honey gradually to balance the sweetness with savory notes.
  • Add natural gelling agent sparingly to achieve a silky sauce without over-thickening.
