Why You’ll Love This Honey Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry

You’ll achieve tender shrimp and crisp veggies every time, making this a reliable go-to for busy evenings.

Best Techniques for Speedy Prep

Getting dinner on the table fast means making prep efficient. This recipe shines with pre-chopped vegetables, which ensures lightning-quick assembly once your pan is hot. To make veggie prep effortless, a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper is incredibly handy—uniform pieces cook evenly, and you’ll save time on knife work.

If you want to slice and dice a variety of veggies (like bell peppers, carrots, or snow peas), a sturdy Bamboo Cutting Board makes for efficient and safe prep and clean-up.

Building a Saucy Honey Garlic Shrimp

The magic of this dish lies in its sticky, aromatic sauce. For the perfect consistency and flavor, whisk honey, soy sauce, garlic, and fresh ginger until smooth. For ultra-fresh ginger and garlic, use the Ninja Fit Compact Personal Blender to blitz them with the sauce ingredients for extra intensity and ease.

The shrimp should be added last, allowing them to soak up the maximum flavor while staying plump and juicy.

Pan-Searing and Stir Fry Technique

For a perfect stir fry, a reliable, nonstick skillet like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet ensures quick, even cooking with minimal oil. Shrimp cooks rapidly, so have all your ingredients prepped and ready before you start.

A quick sear on the shrimp, a high-heat sauté of the vegetables, and then a toss with the velvety honey garlic sauce yields the ultimate cozy meal.

Serving Suggestions and Customization

Serve your Cozy Honey Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry over steamed jasmine rice, brown rice, or even cauliflower rice for a lighter option. For easy, mess-free plating and meal prep, the Bentgo Salad Container is ideal for portioning leftovers or portable lunches.

Add a finishing garnish of green onions or toasted sesame seeds for visual appeal and a nutty crunch. You can swap in any quick-cooking vegetables you have on hand, making this dish adaptable to the seasons or your fridge!

Instructions

4. Add the remaining oil to the pan. Add your mixed vegetables and sauté for 2-4 minutes until vibrant and just tender.
5. Return the shrimp to the pan. Pour in the honey garlic sauce and stir to coat. If you’d like it thicker, add the cornstarch slurry and stir for 1 minute until glossy and thickened.
