Ingredients
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons water
2 cups cooked white rice
1 1/2 cups steamed broccoli
1 tablespoon oil for cooking
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional garnish)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley or green onions (optional)
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 1-2 minutes per side until pink and lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
3. Pour the sauce into the skillet. Stir in a slurry of cornstarch and water. Simmer until thickened.
4. Return shrimp to the skillet. Toss in sauce until evenly coated and glossy. Cook for another minute.
5. Assemble bowls with rice, shrimp, and broccoli. Garnish with sesame seeds and herbs if desired.
Notes
Use low-sodium soy sauce if watching your salt intake.
Don’t overcook the shrimp—they cook fast and stay tender when just seared.
