Teriyaki Shrimp Stir Fry
I love easy dinner ideas, especially when it comes to stir fry recipes.
And this sheet pan shrimp stir fry hits the spot! It’s made on one pan (and one pan only!), with fresh, simple ingredients, and ready in less than 30 minutes.
Just like this chicken and broccoli stir fry and that honey garlic chicken version, this shrimp teriyaki stir fry is easy, flavorful, and just what your busy weeknight needs. I love using shrimp because it’s ready in no time (fresh or frozen works) and it’s on the lighter side.
Let’s not forget about those shrimp stir fry vegetables! I used a combination of broccoli, red onion, and a red bell pepper. Any veggie works, so you can customize it depending on your taste. In fact, a shrimp stir fry with frozen vegetables would work, too, as long as you thaw the veggies before cooking.
Now onto that simple teriyaki sauce. A combination of soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger makes the most delicious sauce! It’s the perfect use for this shrimp stir fry recipe and was made for pouring over rice or noodles, too.
Ingredients in Teriyaki Shrimp Stir Fry:
- Soy sauce
- Honey
- Cornstarch
- Ginger
- Minced garlic
- Shrimp
- Broccoli
- Red onion

How to Make Shrimp Teriyaki Stir Fry:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, ginger, and garlic. Whisk well.
- Place the shrimp and veggies onto the prepared pan. Drizzle with the sauce and toss to coat.
- Cook for 15 minutes, flipping once during cooking. Remove from oven and serve over white rice or noodles.
Can I Use Frozen Shrimp?
Absolutely! I like to use the 16-20 count frozen jumbo shrimp. Just be sure to thaw quickly under warm water before cooking.
Can I Use Frozen Vegetables?
Yes! If using frozen ones instead of fresh, be sure to thaw before cooking.
Variations of Easy Teriyaki Shrimp Stir Fry:
- Add some veggies or swap different ones, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or carrots.
- Like a little heat? Add some siracha for a little kick!
- Swap out the shrimp for chicken, steak, or even salmon for a different taste.
Tips for Making the Best Shrimp Stir Fry:
- I recommend buying the biggest shrimp that you can find (either fresh or frozen). This way, you get those jumbo shrimps, not the tiny kind.
- If you want to save time, you can prepare the veggies in advance. Chop the broccoli florets (or use the already-chopped ones that you can find in the produce section of your grocery store); and chop the red onion and pepper into large chunks. You can refrigerate until ready to cook for convenience.
- You can also prepare the teriyaki sauce before-hand. Simply whisk and refrigerate for up to two days in advance.
- Be sure to flip the shrimp and veggies once during cooking. This will ensure that everything is cooked evenly and doesn’t end up soggy.
