Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups broccoli florets

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce (use tamari for a gluten-free option)

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced finely

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to facilitate easy cleanup later on.

    In a medium-sized bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk them together until well blended; this mixture will serve as your flavorful marinade.

      In a separate mixing bowl, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Pour half of the marinade over the shrimp and toss gently to ensure each piece is coated evenly. Allow the shrimp to marinate for approximately 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

        While the shrimp is marinating, place the broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the broccoli, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the florets to ensure they are well coated in the sauce.

          Once the marinating time for the shrimp is complete, distribute the marinated shrimp evenly over the broccoli on the baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer for optimal cooking.

            Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for about 12-15 minutes, keeping an eye out for the shrimp to turn pink and opaque, while the broccoli should be tender yet retain a slight crispness.

              After roasting, carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven. Gently toss the shrimp and broccoli together to mix them with the delicious sauce that has formed during cooking.

                Serve your dish warm, elegantly garnished with toasted sesame seeds and a sprinkle of chopped green onions for a fresh and vibrant finish.
