Description
A delightful dish featuring tender shrimp glazed in a rich honey garlic sauce, served over rice or quinoa with broccoli and green onions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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 or sautéed
- ¼ cup green onions, finely sliced
- Optional: sesame seeds or crushed red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and grated ginger.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until pink and curled.
- Glaze with the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic mixture into the skillet with the shrimp and allow it to bubble and thicken slightly, about 2 minutes.
- Steam or Sauté Veggies: Quickly steam or sauté the broccoli florets until bright green and fork-tender.
- Build Your Bowl: Scoop rice or quinoa into bowls, top with honey garlic shrimp, drizzle over the sauce, add broccoli, and finish with green onions and optional toppings.
Notes
Enhance flavor by marinating shrimp in the sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking. Opt for additional veggies or vary the protein as desired.
