Ingredients
1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 cups cooked white rice, brown rice, or quinoa
¼ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce or tamari
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
1 cup broccoli florets
¼ cup green onions, finely sliced
Optional: sesame seeds or crushed red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
Prep ingredients: Chop garlic, grate ginger, rinse shrimp, and steam broccoli until crisp-tender.
Make the sauce: Mix honey, soy sauce/tamari, garlic, and ginger in a bowl.
Cook the shrimp: Heat oil in a skillet, add shrimp, and sauté 2–3 minutes per side until pink and charred.
Simmer the glaze: Add the sauce to the skillet, bring to a boil, then reduce for 3–5 minutes.
Assemble bowls: Divide rice between bowls, top with shrimp, broccoli, a spoonful of glaze, and garnishes.
Notes
Tamari ensures a gluten-free option. Swap rice for cauliflower rice if desired. Avoid overcooking shrimp to prevent rubberiness. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 2 days.
