Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Sauce
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Vegetables and Rice
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the flavorful honey garlic sauce.
- Heat the pan: Place a pan over medium heat and add the olive oil, warming it until shimmering but not smoking.
- Cook the shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the pan. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are cooked through.
- Add the sauce: Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the cooked shrimp and let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the shrimp to glaze nicely.
- Steam the broccoli: Meanwhile, steam the broccoli florets in a separate pot until tender but still crisp, usually about 4-5 minutes.
- Assemble the bowl: Serve the honey garlic shrimp over a bed of cooked rice. Top with steamed broccoli florets and sprinkle with chopped green onions for freshness and crunch.
Notes
- You can substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.
- Adjust the amount of honey and soy sauce to taste depending on how sweet or salty you prefer the dish.
- To save time, use pre-cooked shrimp or frozen broccoli florets that can be quickly steamed.
- Serve with a side of sliced avocado or a soft boiled egg for added protein and creaminess.
