A quick and delicious meal featuring juicy shrimp in a sweet and savory garlic sauce, served over rice or quinoa.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or any cooking oil)
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
- 1 cup broccoli florets (steamed)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by prepping your shrimp. Ensure they are thawed, peeled, and deveined. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Make your honey garlic sauce by whisking together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger in a medium mixing bowl.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil along with the sesame oil. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side.
- Flip the shrimp and pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Prepare your rice or quinoa according to package instructions and optionally steam your broccoli florets during this time.
- Plate with a scoop of rice or quinoa at the bottom of your bowl. Top with honey garlic shrimp, arranging the steamed broccoli and sliced bell pepper around it.
- Finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute shrimp with tofu or chickpeas. Adjust sauce seasoning as necessary.
