Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Combine rice and 2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  2. Steam the broccoli: Place broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the sauce base: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
  4. Make the slurry: In a separate small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Set aside.
  5. Cook the shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until pink.
  6. Glaze the shrimp: Pour the honey garlic sauce mixture over the shrimp. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Thicken the sauce: Whisk the cornstarch slurry one more time and pour it into the skillet. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky, about 1 minute.
  8. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice and steamed broccoli among four bowls. Top with the honey garlic shrimp and sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store the cooked shrimp, rice, and broccoli separately. Reheat the shrimp and rice just before eating.
  • You can substitute quinoa or brown rice for jasmine rice.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes or omit them entirely.
