Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free version)
- 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 the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and grated ginger to create a harmonious sauce.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side until pink and curled.
- Pour the honey garlic mixture into the skillet, allowing it to bubble and thicken slightly while coating the shrimp, about 2 minutes.
- Steam or sauté your broccoli until bright and tender.
- In serving bowls, start with a scoop of rice or quinoa, add the honey garlic shrimp, drizzle the sauce over everything, and nestle in the broccoli. Top with green onions and optional sesame seeds or red pepper flakes.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Adjust sweetness by modifying the honey to taste. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
