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

Grains and Vegetables

  • 2 cups cooked white rice, brown rice, or quinoa
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed or sautéed

Garnishes (Optional)

  • ¼ cup green onions, finely sliced
  • Sesame seeds or crushed red pepper flakes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. This sauce brings a balance of sweetness, savoriness, and warmth from the ginger.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and curl into a ‘C’ shape. Be careful not to overcook as they will finish cooking in the sauce.
  3. Glaze with the Sauce: Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce mixture into the skillet with the shrimp. Allow it to bubble and reduce for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the shrimp in a glossy glaze. Stir gently to evenly cover all shrimp with the sauce.
  4. Steam or Sauté Veggies: While the shrimp is cooking, steam the broccoli florets until they turn bright green and are fork-tender, about 3-4 minutes. Alternatively, sauté the broccoli for a caramelized, smoky flavor by cooking in a little oil over medium heat until tender-crisp.
  5. Build Your Bowl: Divide the cooked rice or quinoa into serving bowls. Top with the honey garlic shrimp, spoon over any extra sauce from the pan, and add the steamed or sautéed broccoli. Garnish with finely sliced green onions and, if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds or crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Notes

  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • For a lower sugar option, reduce the honey or substitute with a sugar-free sweetener.
  • Shrimp cooks very quickly; overcooking will make them rubbery, so watch carefully.
  • Brown rice or quinoa will add more fiber and nutrients compared to white rice.
  • Optional garnishes like sesame seeds and red pepper flakes add texture and heat, but you can omit based on preference.
