  Method

   

  Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F (200C). In a large bowl, toss shrimp and broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Spread the seasoned shrimp and broccoli in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through and broccoli is tender-crisp.
  4. While shrimp and broccoli are roasting, whisk together honey, sriracha (or hot sauce), red pepper flakes (if using), apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
  5. Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the hot honey glaze over the shrimp and broccoli and toss gently to coat. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

  Notes

  Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.

  Can I make this hot honey shrimp and broccoli ahead of time?

  This dish is best enjoyed fresh. While you can prep the ingredients (chop broccoli, peel shrimp, mix sauce) ahead of time, cooking it just before serving ensures the best texture for the shrimp and broccoli.

  What can I serve with hot honey shrimp and broccoli?

  This dish is a complete meal on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a side of white rice, brown rice, quinoa, or even some extra roasted vegetables like bell peppers or onions.

  How can I adjust the spice level of the hot honey glaze?

  To make it spicier, increase the amount of sriracha or red pepper flakes. For a milder version, reduce the hot sauce or omit the red pepper flakes entirely. You can also use a milder hot sauce.
