Prepare this fast, sticky honey garlic shrimp served over coconut rice with steamed broccoli for a simple weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (canned, full fat or light)
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Combine rice, water, and coconut milk in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Keep covered off heat.
  2. Steam the broccoli: Place broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam for 4 to 6 minutes until tender-crisp. Set aside.
  3. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and red pepper flakes if using.
  4. Cook the shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp lightly with salt and pepper. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until pink.
  5. Glaze the shrimp: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp evenly. Do not overcook the shrimp.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide the coconut rice among serving bowls. Top with the honey garlic shrimp and steamed broccoli. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For quicker cooking, use pre-cooked or frozen shrimp that has been fully thawed.
  • You can substitute brown rice, but adjust the cooking time according to package directions.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
