Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)
  • 4 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 2 cups steamed or sautéed broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and minced garlic. Set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the same skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Whisk the cornstarch slurry again and pour it into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
  5. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat completely in the honey garlic sauce. Cook for 1 minute to heat through.
  6. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top the rice with the sauced shrimp, steamed broccoli, and shredded carrots.
  7. Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a gluten free shrimp bowl, substitute tamari for the soy sauce.
  • You can substitute quinoa for rice for a healthier option.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
