6 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Freshly ground pepper

1/2 c soy sauce
1 c walnuts packed in honey, lightly drained, plus 1 tbsp of the honey from the jar
4 Thai chiles or 1/2 habanero, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tbsps fresh lemon juice

Directions

Step #1 In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tbsp of the oil.

Step #3 Transfer the walnuts to a plate with a slotted spoon.
Step #4 Add another tbsp of the oil to the saucepan.
Step #5 Add the garlic, stirring every once in awhile, season this with pepper & cook over low heat/flame, until golden, about 4 mins.

Step #7 Add the soy sauce & let simmer until slightly reduced, about 4 mins.
Step #8 Stir in the lemon juice & remove the garlic-caramel sauce from the heat.
Step #9 In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of oil.
Step #10 Add the broccoli, cover & cook over moderate heat for 3 mins.
Step #11 Uncover, stirring a few times, add the shrimp & chiles & cook, just until the shrimp are pink & curled.
Step #12 Stir in the garlic-caramel sauce, sprinkle the walnuts on top & serve.
Step #13 Wine Recommendation: An aromatic, fruity-ripe white will balance the heat & sweetness of this simple dish.
Step #14 Try a Viognier, or a California white mix, such as the 2002 Fairview from South Africa, such as the 2002 Conundrum.
