I love Sunday dinner time but since my younger daughter, Yanah’s volleyball season is ongoing, I have to cook something quick and easy. I found this recipe online and change it a little bit by adding my own ingredients. I just can’t help it, to make the recipe my own, I have to add my own touch. For instance, I use ¼ of orange juice instead of water. I also add ginger and cayenne pepper, we love spice and lots of flavor.
Honey Garlic Shrimp Stir-Fry
Ingredients:
1 ½ lbs. large shrimp peeled and deveined
2 cups broccoli florets
2 tsp Olive oil
3 cloves garlic minced
Zest of an orange
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup water
3 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp ginger
Salt, pepper, pepper flakes,
Preparation
Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, pepper flakes, and the orange zest let it rest.
In a pan, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat
Add the broccoli and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Remove the broccoli from the pan; place it on a plate and cover to keep warm.
Return pan to heat, add the remaining oil, add the garlic, ginger, then add the shrimp, cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pink and opaque. Then add the broccoli back into the pan.
In a bowl, whisk together the water, honey and soy sauce. Pour that mixture over the shrimp and vegetables; cook for 30 seconds.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water. Add to pan and bring to a boil; cook for 1 more minute or until sauce has just started to thicken.

Yummy! This looks good. We love shrimp.

This looks so yummy. But we don’t eat shrimp so I may have to substitute it. Definitely will try it out. Thanks for the tips.

Sorry, Regina, I am a shrimp lover. If you eat chicken, you can always try with it.
This looks delicious! I wouldn’t have thought about switching the water fo orange juice. But I am the same that I make every recipe my own as I make it!
Me too, Stephanie, that makes me feel like a Chef at the moment.
using orange juice instead of water is never something I would have thought to do. What a brilliant idea! I love shrimp, it’s one of my favorites.
Yes Angela, as I was putting the zest, I decided to go bold for flavor and add the juice also.
Oh YUM!! I struggle with fish dishes so much – bookmarking for later! And the way you did the rice is fab! X
Thank you, Kat.
Ooh! That looks delicious! I just love that you molded the rice. I bet all that orange flavor makes a wonderful sauce. I’m saving this to my big oven account and gonna have it for dinner next week.
Let me know how it turns out, Alicia.
Ooh. This looks awesome. I definitely want to try this recipe out. I love shrimp recipes.
So do I, Holly.
Looks delicious and pretty simple to make, I will be trying this one!
I am all for a simple and delicious recipe, Caitlin.

Yumm I love a good stir fry and I actually haven’t made one in a while. I love how you stuck the rice together in a little mound.
Thank you, Nikki.
Yum! This looks and sounds delicious. Always love a good stir fry
We can never go wrong with a good stir-fry, Arielle.
I love how you turned the recipe into your own. It creates a different taste. It’s looks so beautiful like something from a restaurant. I can’t wait to make my own
That’s why I like to cook more than bake, Ifeoluwa, I always like to change recipes, but it’s a little bit harder with baking for me.
I am in love with the presentation and table decor. It is lovely and looks so beautiful. I am a vegetarian person will show your post to my husband and will make this dish for him.
Thank you, Jiya, I hope he loves it.
Love shrimp!! This recipe sounds delicious!! Love how you made the recipe your own, recipes are just guidelines anyways not rules set in stone!
I agree with you, Leah. I am a shrimp lover as well.
Oh my! This looks amazing!
Thank you, Angel.
I am totally going to have to give this recipe to my hubby for the next time I am away and he’s solo-parenting! Shrimp and broccoli are two of the foods I don’t eat (though I admit this recipe looks yummy), so as soon as I leave town, he and the girls eat them at least once a day b/c they love them!
I hope they like it, Flossie.
This looks and sounds so good. I love meals with shrimp. I look forward to giving this a try!
Give it a try and let me know, Brittany.
First, beautiful table setting!
Second, wow that looks yummy!
Thank you so much, Christina.
I love stir fry! Definitely going to try this this weekend.
