Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (cornstarch slurry)
Instructions
- Preheat and Roast Broccoli: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp-tender.
- Prepare Honey Garlic Sauce: While broccoli roasts, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens, then remove from heat.
- Cook Shrimp: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through.
- Toss Shrimp in Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the cooked shrimp and stir to coat evenly.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide cooked jasmine rice between four bowls. Top each bowl with honey garlic shrimp and roasted broccoli. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a low-carb alternative, substitute the jasmine rice with cauliflower rice.
- Add shredded carrots, snap peas, or red bell peppers to the bowls for extra color, crunch, and nutrients.
- Make sure to flip the broccoli halfway through roasting to ensure even browning.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce if you want to reduce the sodium content.
