Ingredients:

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 4 cups broccoli florets

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt & pepper to taste

• Sesame seeds + green onions for garnish

For the sesame sauce:

• 3 tbsp coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce

• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• ½ tsp ground ginger

• 1 tsp arrowroot or cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven
   Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.

2. Toss the broccoli
   On the sheet pan, toss broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes while you prep the shrimp and sauce.

3. Make the sesame sauce
   In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and starch (if using) until smooth.

4. Add shrimp to the pan
   After the broccoli has roasted for 10 minutes, push it to one side and add the shrimp. Drizzle everything with the sesame sauce and toss lightly to coat.

5. Bake until done
   Return to the oven and roast for another 8–10 minutes, until shrimp are pink and cooked through.

6. Garnish & serve
   Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve over cauliflower rice, brown rice, or eat straight from the pan!

Sarah’s Tips:

• Want more crunch? Add sliced bell peppers or snap peas during the last 10 minutes.

• Spice it up: Stir in a little sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.

• Make it low-carb: Serve over cauliflower rice or lettuce wraps.

• Frozen shrimp tip: Thaw quickly by placing them in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes.
