Prepare quick and flavorful honey garlic shrimp served over rice with fresh vegetables for a complete weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup cooked white rice or quinoa (for serving)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup sliced carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, ginger, and red pepper flakes if you are using them. Set aside.
  2. Cook the vegetables: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and carrots. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the shrimp: Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  4. Glaze the shrimp: Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the cooked shrimp. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp evenly.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice or quinoa among serving bowls. Top with the glazed shrimp and the cooked vegetables.
  6. Garnish: Sprinkle the bowls with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store the shrimp, vegetables, and rice separately. Combine and reheat just before eating.
  • If you prefer more spice, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of sriracha to the sauce.
  • You can substitute the rice with cauliflower rice for a lower carbohydrate option.
