Description
A quick and easy honey-garlic shrimp bowl that’s both sweet and savory, served over rice or quinoa with broccoli.
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or neutral oil like avocado or canola)
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown) or quinoa
- 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed or sautéed
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely sliced
- Optional: sesame seeds, crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside to make the sauce.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Let it shimmer without smoking.
- Arrange shrimp in a single layer in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and curled into a loose ‘C’.
- Pour the honey-garlic sauce into the skillet and let it bubble for 1–2 minutes while tossing the shrimp to coat.
- Steam or sauté broccoli until bright green and tender (about 3–4 minutes).
- Assemble bowls with rice or quinoa, top with glazed shrimp and broccoli, and garnish with green onions and optional toppings.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Pat shrimp dry before searing for perfect browning.
