Description
A delicious and easy meal that combines sweet and savory flavors in a colorful dish, perfect for busy weeknights.
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
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and grated ginger to prepare the sauce.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until they turn pink.
- Pour the honey garlic mixture into the skillet, allowing it to bubble and thicken for about 2 minutes while coating the shrimp.
- Steam the broccoli until bright green and tender or sauté for added flavor.
- Scoop your choice of rice or quinoa into bowls. Top with honey garlic shrimp, drizzle with sauce, and add vegetables. Sprinkle with green onions and optional garnishes.
Notes
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp as they cook quickly. You can marinate shrimp in the sauce for 15–30 minutes before cooking for extra flavor.
