Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup cooked white rice or quinoa
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup sliced carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare your bowl base: Place 1/4 cup of cooked rice or quinoa in each of four bowls.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and red pepper flakes to make the sauce. Set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink.
  5. Add the broccoli florets and carrots to the skillet with the shrimp. Cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are slightly tender-crisp.
  6. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and coats everything, about 1 minute.
  7. Divide the shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly over the rice in the four bowls.
  8. Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For faster cooking, use pre-cooked rice or frozen shrimp that has been thawed.
  • You can substitute other quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas or bell peppers.
  • To make the sauce thicker, let it simmer for an extra minute after adding it to the pan.
