Ingredients

Scale

For the Shrimp:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

For Serving:

  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown) or quinoa
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli (or other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the Shrimp: In a bowl, season the shrimp with salt and pepper to your taste, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  2. Heat the Oil: Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Sauté the Shrimp: Place the shrimp in the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, add the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger if using, and rice vinegar. Stir well to combine the flavors.
  5. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry. Add this to the skillet and cook for another minute until the sauce thickens.
  6. Combine Shrimp and Sauce: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them thoroughly to coat in the honey garlic sauce. Cook for an additional minute to heat everything through.
  7. Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked rice or quinoa into serving bowls, top with the honey garlic shrimp, and add steamed broccoli or your choice of vegetables.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the bowls, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute rice vinegar with apple cider vinegar if desired.
  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Feel free to swap broccoli with other steamed vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for variety.
  • The cornstarch slurry is optional but helps achieve a thicker, stickier sauce.
  • Cook shrimp carefully to avoid overcooking, which makes them rubbery.
