Description
A delicious and easy dinner option that combines sweet and savory flavors with quick-cooking shrimp served over rice or quinoa.
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups cooked white rice, brown rice, or quinoa
- 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed or sautéed
- ¼ cup green onions, finely sliced
- Optional: sesame seeds or crushed red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce by whisking together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until pink and curled.
- Pour the honey garlic mixture into the skillet, letting it bubble and thicken, coating the shrimp in glaze.
- While the shrimp are cooking, steam or sauté the broccoli until bright green and fork-tender.
- Build your bowl by adding rice or quinoa, topping with honey garlic shrimp, veggies, and garnishing with green onions and optional sesame seeds or red pepper flakes.
Notes
Don’t overcook the shrimp; adjust sweetness to your preference with honey, and consider adding more veggies for extra nutrition.
