Ingredients

For the Sauce

¼ cup honey Provides sweetness to the dish
¼ cup soy sauce Use tamari for gluten-free
3 cloves garlic, minced Freshly minced for the best flavor
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated Adds depth to the sauce

Main Ingredients

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined Makes the protein base of the dish
1 tbsp olive oil For cooking the shrimp
2 cups cooked rice or quinoa Use white or brown rice for best results
1 cup broccoli florets, steamed or sautéed Provides nutrition and color
¼ cup green onions, finely sliced For garnish and flavor
Optional sesame seeds or crushed red pepper flakes For garnish and added flavor

Method

Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk them together until well-mixed.

Cook the Shrimp

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and curl up.

Glaze with the Sauce

Pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet with the shrimp. Allow it to bubble and thicken for about 2 minutes. Stir gently to coat the shrimp well.

Steam or Sauté Veggies

While the shrimp is cooking, steam or sauté the broccoli until it is bright green and fork-tender.

Build Your Bowl

To serve, scoop rice or quinoa into bowls. Top it with the glazed shrimp, broccoli, and sliced green onions. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds or red pepper flakes on top.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. For longer storage, freeze shrimp and broccoli separately from rice or quinoa.
