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
Accompaniments
- 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 fresh ginger until well combined to form the flavorful honey garlic sauce.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- Coat the Shrimp: Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce into the skillet with the shrimp. Let the sauce bubble and thicken slightly while coating the shrimp evenly for about 2 minutes.
- Prepare the Broccoli: While the shrimp is cooking, steam or sauté the broccoli florets until they are tender and bright green.
- Assemble the Bowls: Serve the honey garlic shrimp over cooked white rice or quinoa, top with the steamed or sautéed broccoli, and garnish with finely sliced green onions for a fresh finish.
Notes
- You can substitute tamari for soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Use quinoa instead of rice for a higher protein, gluten-free option.
- Adjust the honey quantity if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet sauce.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for some heat.
- Ensure shrimp are not overcooked to keep them tender and juicy.
