Some nights dinner needs to be fast due to schedules, or due to poor planning on what to make cooking needs to be done quickly. That’s why I love fast, simple, and delicious meals like this Spicy Honey Garlic Shrimp and Broccoli 30 Minute Skillet meal. It’s not only an easy meal, but also healthy!

I have been making healthier meals for many reasons, and I’ve stopped telling my family what’s in them since they will sometimes snub their noses before the food even touches their mouth. Paleo recipes seem to help us stay in check when we indulge in a heavier meal other nights. One of our favorite paleo recipes is this Nashville Hot Grilled Chicken Tenders and I love munching on these Paleo Cinnamon Apple Chips.

This recipe for honey garlic shrimp is Paleo, healthy, and comes together in 30 minutes in one skillet. That’s the perfect meal in my opinion. Now, for those who just have to have a more substantial meal, like my husband, you can serve this shrimp and vegetable meal over rice of your choice, pasta, or rice noodles.

Ingredients for Spicy Honey Garlic Shrimp and Broccoli

  • Sesame oil
  • Sugar-free chili garlic sauce*
  • Garlic
  • Coconut aminos**
  • Raw Honey***
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Arrowroot flour****
  • Bell peppers
  • Broccoli
  • Shrimp

How to this Spicy Honey Garlic Shrimp and Broccoli Skillet Meal

In a small bowl, prepare the spicy honey garlic sauce: whisk together sesame oil, chili garlic sauce*, minced garlic, coconut aminos**, raw honey***, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat and add one tablespoon olive oil. Then add the bell pepper slices and broccoli florets. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir-fry the vegetables until tender-crisp and they have browned a little. This may take about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet to a bowl and set aside.

Reduce the skillet heat to medium, and add the remaining olive oil. Add the shrimp to the skillet, in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, turning once, until the shrimp is opaque and starts to curl, about 2 minutes. Don’t overcook. Remove the shrimp to the bowl with the vegetables.

In a small bowl, combine the arrowroot flour**** and water, whisk to combine. Set aside. Add the sauce ingredients to the skillet and cook until hot. Once hot, add the arrowroot slurry to the sauce and mix to combine, as the sauce heats back up it will thicken, about 2 – 3 minutes.

Remove skillet from heat and pour the shrimp and vegetables into the sauce. Carefully toss to combine and then garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
