Prepare quick and flavorful honey garlic shrimp served over rice with your choice of vegetables for a complete weeknight meal.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare your bowl components: Cook rice according to package directions. Steam or lightly sauté broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper until tender-crisp. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) to make the sauce.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the same skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  5. Whisk the cornstarch slurry again and slowly pour it into the simmering sauce while stirring constantly. Cook for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  6. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the shrimp completely in the sticky honey garlic sauce. Cook for 30 seconds to reheat the shrimp.
  7. Assemble your bowls: Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with the cooked vegetables and the saucy honey garlic shrimp.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store the shrimp, rice, and vegetables separately. Assemble just before eating to keep the vegetables crisp.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of garlic or omit the red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute tamari for soy sauce if you require a gluten-free option.
