Ingredients

Scale

For the Shrimp:

  • 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

For the Bowl:

  • 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

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and grated ginger. The honey provides a gentle sweetness that complements the garlic’s boldness and the ginger’s warmth.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp in a single layer. Cook about 2–3 minutes per side, just until they turn pink and curl into a ‘C’ shape. Don’t overcook—they’ll finish in the sauce.
  3. Glaze with the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic mixture into the skillet. Let it bubble and thicken slightly, coating the shrimp in a glossy glaze. Stir gently to make sure every shrimp is drenched in flavor. This takes about 2 minutes.
  4. Steam or Sauté Veggies: While the shrimp cook, quickly steam broccoli until bright green and fork-tender. You can also sauté them for a little caramelization, if you prefer a smoky touch.
  5. Build Your Bowl: Scoop your rice or quinoa into bowls. Pile on the honey garlic shrimp, spoon over the sauce, and nestle in your veggies. Finish with a sprinkle of green onions, and optional sesame seeds or red pepper flakes for kick.
