Prepare quick and flavorful Honey Garlic Shrimp Bowls featuring tender shrimp coated in a sweet and savory glaze, served over rice with fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp sriracha (optional)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water (slurry)
  • 4 cups cooked rice (brown or white)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha, if using. Set aside.
  2. Cook vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp-tender. Remove vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook shrimp: Add the shrimp to the same skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  4. Thicken sauce: Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce mixture over the shrimp. Bring to a simmer. Stir the cornstarch slurry and pour it into the skillet while stirring constantly. Cook for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  5. Combine: Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the shrimp and vegetables evenly with the sauce.
  6. Assemble bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top the rice with the honey garlic shrimp and vegetables. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute tamari for the soy sauce.
  • You can substitute quinoa or cauliflower rice for traditional rice.
  • If you prefer less sticky sauce, reduce the honey by 1 tablespoon.
