Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 cups broccoli florets

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for desired heat level)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). To ensure an easy cleanup later, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Whisk the ingredients together until fully blended to form your flavorful sauce.

      In a separate large mixing bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with half of the prepared honey garlic sauce. Allow the shrimp to marinate for approximately 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld.

        On the lined baking sheet, spread the broccoli florets in an even layer. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper to taste.

          Roast the seasoned broccoli in your preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until it begins to soften and caramelize.

            After the initial roasting time, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Arrange the marinated shrimp over the roasted broccoli, then drizzle the remaining honey garlic sauce evenly over the top.

              Place the baking sheet back in the oven and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through.

                Once cooked, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. If desired, add a finishing touch with chopped fresh cilantro for added brightness and flavor.

                  Prep Time, Total Time, Servings: 10 minutes | 30 minutes | 4 servings

                    - Presentation Tips: For a rustic presentation, serve directly from the baking sheet. Alternatively, portion the shrimp and broccoli onto individual plates. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top for an extra flavor burst, and consider serving alongside steamed rice or fluffy quinoa to create a complete and satisfying meal.
