For the Shrimp:
- 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
For the Bowls:
- 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
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and grated ginger. The honey provides a gentle sweetness that complements the garlic’s boldness and the ginger’s warmth.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp in a single layer. Cook about 2–3 minutes per side, just until they turn pink and curl into a ‘C’ shape. Don’t overcook—they’ll finish in the sauce.
- Glaze with the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic mixture into the skillet. Let it bubble and thicken slightly, coating the shrimp in a glossy glaze. Stir gently to make sure every shrimp is drenched in flavor. This takes about 2 minutes.
- Steam or Sauté Veggies: While the shrimp cook, quickly steam broccoli until bright green and fork-tender. You can also sauté them for a little caramelization, if you prefer a smoky touch.
- Build Your Bowl: Scoop your rice or quinoa into bowls. Pile on the honey garlic shrimp, spoon over the sauce, and nestle in your veggies. Finish with a sprinkle of green onions, and optional sesame seeds or red pepper flakes for kick.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
- You can customize the veggies in the bowl based on your preference.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness or saltiness of the sauce to suit your taste.
