Description
A quick and delicious dish featuring shrimp cooked in a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze, served over rice or quinoa with steamed broccoli.
Ingredients
- 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
- 2 cups cooked white rice, brown rice, or quinoa
- 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed
- ¼ cup green onions, finely sliced
- Optional: sesame seeds or crushed red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until smooth.
- Cook the shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and curl into a ‘C’ shape.
- Glaze with the sauce: Once shrimp are cooked, pour the honey garlic mixture into the skillet. Let it bubble and thicken for about two minutes, coating the shrimp in a glossy glaze.
- Steam or sauté the broccoli: Quickly steam the broccoli until bright green or sauté in a separate pan until slightly caramelized.
- Build your bowl: Scoop cooked rice or quinoa into bowls. Add honey garlic shrimp and broccoli.
- Finish with garnishes: Top with sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds or red pepper flakes if desired.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor, and feel free to experiment with additional vegetables. For a vegan option, substitute shrimp with tofu or mushrooms.
