My Favorite Quick Weeknight Dish
This honey garlic shrimp and broccoli checks all the right boxes: it’s quick (20 minutes, tops), incredibly flavorful (hello sweet, savory, and garlicky sauce), and made with simple, wholesome ingredients. It’s one of those dinners that feels a little fancy but takes zero fuss.
I love to incorporate seafood recipes into our week because my kids love it and it cooks quickly!
I also love a good sheet pan dinner. It’s why this recipe, sheet pan chicken fajitas, sheet pan sausage and veggies and butternut squash and apples are in our rotation.

Key Ingredients
- Shrimp: Large shrimp cook quickly and soak up the flavor perfectly. Make sure they’re peeled and deveined for ease. Fresh or frozen works!
- Coconut aminos or soy sauce: is a large portion of the sauce. You can use traditional soy sauce or coconut aminos to keep it gluten-free. Y
- Fresh garlic + ginger: Key players for flavor—don’t skip them.
- Honey is the other star of the sauce. It makes this sauce a little sticky and a little sweet!
- Broccoli: fresh broccoli is best.
- Cornstarch or tapioca flour: thickens the sticky sauce before serving!
How to Make Honey Garlic Shrimp
- Whisk the marinade and split it in half—one part for the shrimp and one part for the sauce.
- Marinate the shrimp for at least 15 minutes or up to 12 hours in the fridge.
- Roast the broccoli on a sheet pan at 400°F for 10 minutes.
- Add the shrimp to the pan and bake everything for 10–12 minutes more.
- Thicken the sauce on the stovetop with a quick cornstarch slurry.
- Serve over rice with a drizzle of that sweet, garlicky sauce and garnishes.

This was sooooo good- and easy!
Thanks Cherisse!
Another easy and delicious meal!
Thanks Lauren!
I’m making this tonight! In the “for the shrimp” section, there is listed “2 tsp olive oil”, but I don’t see it used. Is it for the sauce? I see olive oil for roasting the broccoli, but not anywhere for the shrimp. Thx
I came for the answer to this.
It goes in with the sauce!
Delicious and such a perfect easy dinner recipe! This will definitely be added to our weekly dinner rotation. 🙂
Love to hear that! Thanks!
Can you post the nutritional information for the recipe?
Is the lemon juice just for garnish at the end or part of the sauce? It is listed in the ingredients for the shrimp, but I don’t see it in the directions at all.
Hey Jenna! Thanks for pointing that out. That was a typo in the description and the lemon juice was accidentally not included. This recipe was tested and written with the lemon juice in the sauce. I updated the typo. Thanks again!
How yummy and delicious this looks! Thank you for sharing your recipe!
You’re welcome, Amy!
