Prepare a fast and flavorful honey garlic shrimp bowl for a simple weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli florets, sliced carrots, snap peas)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare your rice or quinoa according to package directions if not already cooked.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and red pepper flakes to make the sauce. Set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink.
  5. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the shrimp. Stir constantly for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp well.
  6. If using raw vegetables, add them to the skillet during the last 2 minutes of cooking the shrimp to lightly steam or sauté them.
  7. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice or quinoa among serving bowls. Top with the honey garlic shrimp and vegetables.
  8. Garnish each bowl with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For the fastest meal, use pre-cooked rice and frozen shrimp that has been thawed.
  • You can substitute any quick-cooking vegetables you prefer, such as bell peppers or mushrooms.
  • If you like a thicker glaze, cook the sauce down for an extra minute before adding the shrimp back in.
