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