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