Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and curl.
Be careful not to overcook them; they should be tender and juicy.

Glazing shrimp

Pour the honey garlic mixture into the skillet with the shrimp and let it bubble for about 2 minutes, stirring to coat each shrimp.

Preparing broccoli

While the shrimp cooks, steam or sauté the broccoli until bright green and tender.

Top with the honey garlic shrimp and the thickened sauce.
Add broccoli and garnish with green onions and optional toppings.
