Instructions

Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic. Sprinkle in cornstarch and blend until fully dissolved and smooth. Set aside.
Sauté bell pepper and onion: Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red bell pepper and onion, stirring frequently for 3 to 4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Cook broccoli: Add broccoli florets to the skillet and continue cooking for another 4 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even tenderness.
Add butter and shrimp: Stir in the unsalted butter and allow it to melt. Add the shrimp, cooking them for 2 minutes on each side until they turn just opaque.
Add the sauce and glaze: Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, stirring continuously. Cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and the shrimp are fully glazed.
Serve: Remove from heat and plate immediately over cooked rice or as preferred.
