Tips to make Honey Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry Recipe:


  • Preferably use fresh shrimp for best taste results. But if you are not able to find the right shrimp for this recipe then use pre-cleaned frozen shrimp.

  • To thaw the frozen shrimp,keep them in the refrigerator section for few hours prior to cooking.This way the shrimp  will thaw well.

  • If you love spicy food then go ahead and add some paprika or chili flakes in the recipe.

  • Keep the tail on or off the shrimp as per personal choice.

  • Use fresh ingredients like garlic,ginger and not from store bought packs/jars. Fresh ingredients always get the best in any recipe.

  • Do not overcook the shrimp as it turns rubbery if cooked for a long time and looses its taste.

  • Sauce is very good in this recipe,do not toss it away.Its so good when mixed with rice or eaten with bread too.

  • Keep everything ready before you start. This makes the cooking time very less.

Shrimp: Fresh or Frozen Shrimp,anything works best in this recipe.
You can keep the tail on or off as per wish.


Honey: The most important ingredient in making the sauce for this dish.Gives so much flavor and makes this recipe amazing.


Garlic + Ginger: When fresh garlic and ginger is added to the sauce,the taste is so amazing.Plus when it is used to marinate shrimp makes them more flavorful.


Broccoli + Scallions: Use any vegetable of your choice if you want to add in this recipe. I have used Broccoli and Scallions.



Butter + Olive Oil: The combination of broccoli and olive oil is amazing and enhances the flavor of sauce so much. If you like butter in your food then add little more butter to get that extra flavor.

    2. I doubled the recipe and added red bell pepper slices. This recipe was super delicious and very easy. I did have to thicken the sauce with a slurry (1/4 c corn starch and water).
