Description
A quick and easy dish combining sweet and savory shrimp with fresh vegetables 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: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and grated ginger.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink.
- Glaze with the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic mixture into the skillet and let it bubble for about 2 minutes, coating the shrimp.
- Steam or Sauté Veggies: Steam broccoli until bright green or sauté for a caramelized flavor.
- Build Your Bowl: Spoon rice or quinoa into bowls, top with shrimp, drizzle with sauce, and arrange veggies. Finish with green onions and optional garnishes.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate shrimp in the honey garlic mixture for 15 minutes before cooking. You can also use chicken or tofu instead of shrimp.
