Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp and Broccoli
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shrimp and broccoli.
- Drizzle with olive oil, then add the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, then gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- This preheating step ensures even cooking and helps the shrimp and broccoli crisp up better.
Step 3: Arrange the Shrimp and Broccoli in the Air Fryer
- Place the shrimp and broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Ensure they’re spread out, allowing for airflow and even cooking.
Step 4: Cook in the Air Fryer
- Cook the shrimp and broccoli in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes.
- Halfway through cooking (around 4-5 minutes), open the air fryer and gently shake the basket to toss the ingredients, promoting even cooking.
- Once cooked, the shrimp should be opaque and slightly golden, and the broccoli should be tender with crispy edges.
Step 5: Toast the Sesame Seeds
- In a small skillet over low heat, add sesame seeds.
- Toast for 2-3 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the seeds are golden brown and fragrant.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 6: Drizzle and Serve
- Mix the light soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl.
- Arrange the shrimp and broccoli on a serving platter, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
- Drizzle the soy-sesame dressing over the dish and serve with fresh lime wedges.
