Equipment
- Sheet Pan (Baking Tray)
- Mixing Bowl
- Tongs or Spatula
- Measuring Spoons and Cups
- Knife and Cutting Board
Ingredients
For the Shrimp and Broccoli:
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for a little kick
Optional Add-On:
- 6 ounces sausage sliced (for a heartier honey shrimp sausage and broccoli version)
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a light layer of cooking spray for easy cleanup.
- Pro Tip: Lining the pan helps prevent sticking and keeps the broccoli from getting soggy.
Prepare the Shrimp and Broccoli
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- If using sausage, add the sliced pieces to the bowl and toss lightly.
- Spread the broccoli (and sausage, if using) evenly on the prepared sheet pan, leaving space for the shrimp.
Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Pro Tip: Whisk continuously to fully combine the honey and oil—it helps the sauce coat the shrimp evenly later.
Add the Shrimp
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels (this helps them sear nicely).
- Place the shrimp on the sheet pan alongside the broccoli and sausage.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the shrimp and vegetables. Use tongs or a spatula to toss gently and coat everything.
Roast Everything Together
- Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 12–15 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and opaque, and broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Pro Tip: Check halfway through and give everything a gentle toss to ensure even cooking.
Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two.
- Serve as is, or over rice, quinoa, or noodles for a heartier meal.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if you want a little extra flair.
