💡 5. Tips & FAQs

Can I use frozen shrimp or steak tips?
Yes! Just thaw and pat dry thoroughly before cooking.

Make it W-W friendly?
Swap the honey for a low-cal sugar-free substitute and use cooking spray instead of oil to save points.

Can I add other veggies?
Totally—zucchini, snap peas, or mushrooms work great here.
