Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Sauce
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Sides and Garnish
- 2 cups cooked white rice or quinoa
- 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed or sautéed
- ¼ cup green onions, finely sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined to create the flavorful honey garlic mixture.
- Cook the shrimp. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Add the sauce. Pour the prepared honey garlic mixture into the skillet with the shrimp. Allow it to bubble and thicken slightly, coating the shrimp evenly for about 2 minutes.
- Prepare the broccoli. Meanwhile, steam or sauté the broccoli florets until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Assemble the bowls. Serve the honey garlic shrimp over cooked white rice or quinoa. Top each bowl with steamed broccoli and garnish with finely sliced green onions for a fresh finish.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
- You can use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier or low-carb variation.
- Make sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them juicy and tender.
- Adjust the amount of honey for your preferred sweetness level.
- The broccoli can be steamed or sautéed with a little olive oil and garlic for extra flavor.
