Prepare a quick and flavorful Honey Soy Shrimp Bowl with rice. This recipe uses a simple sweet and savory glaze for tender shrimp, perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice (Jasmine recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 teaspoon cold water (slurry)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup sliced carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to make the sauce base. Set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Add the broccoli florets and carrots to the same skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
  6. Pour the prepared honey soy sauce base into the skillet with the vegetables. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Whisk the cornstarch slurry again and pour it into the simmering sauce. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  8. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the shrimp and vegetables in the glaze. Cook for 1 minute to heat through.
  9. Assemble your bowls: Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with the honey soy shrimp and vegetable mixture.
  10. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For meal prepping, store the shrimp and vegetable mixture separately from the rice to prevent the rice from becoming soggy. Reheat gently before serving.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce base.
  • Use Jasmine rice for an authentic Asian flavor profile in your bowl.
