Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Vegetables

  • 500g fresh peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 300g broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces

Sauce Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp honey (natural)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (fresh)
  • 4 tbsp plant-based butter
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (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 thoroughly and pat them dry. Chop broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince the garlic finely. Have honey (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), red pepper flakes if using, and natural gelling agent ready for easy access during cooking.
  2. Cook the Broccoli: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crunchy. Remove broccoli from the skillet and set aside to preserve its crispness.
  3. Sauté the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil if needed. Add the shrimp, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink and opaque, indicating they are perfectly cooked.
  4. Make the Honey Garlic Butter Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and add the plant-based butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook gently until the garlic becomes fragrant without browning. Stir in honey (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), and red pepper flakes if using. Add the natural gelling agent to thicken the sauce slightly and mix well.
  5. Combine and Serve: Return the cooked broccoli to the skillet and toss everything together, ensuring the shrimp and broccoli are evenly coated with the sauce. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Choose fresh or properly thawed shrimp to ensure good texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp; remove them as soon as they turn pink to keep them tender.
  • Keep broccoli crisp by cooking it only until it is bright green and slightly tender.
  • Cook garlic gently in butter (plant-based) on low heat to avoid bitterness.
  • Adjust the amount of honey and red pepper flakes to balance sweetness and heat according to your taste.
