Ingredients
Scale
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: 1 cup broccoli florets
Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Cook the rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the sauce. Set aside.
Season the shrimp lightly with salt and pepper.
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 2 minutes per side until pink. If using broccoli, add it now and cook until tender-crisp.
Pour the prepared honey sriracha sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the shrimp, about 1 to 2 minutes. Do not overcook the shrimp.
Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with the glazed shrimp and any vegetables.
Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a thicker glaze, let the sauce simmer for an extra minute before adding the shrimp back in.
You can substitute brown rice or jasmine rice for the white rice.
Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the finished bowl for brightness.
