Why It Works
  • The honey garlic sauce is made with a combination of honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, black pepper, and salt. This combination of ingredients creates a flavorful sauce that is both sweet and savory.
  • The shrimp is cooked in the sauce until it is pink and opaque. This ensures that the shrimp is cooked through but still tender.
  • The broccoli is steamed until it is tender-crisp. This cooking method preserves the broccoli's nutrients and gives it a slightly crunchy texture.
