Ingredients

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon water (for slurry)

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

2 cups cooked white rice

2 cups broccoli florets, steamed

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Chopped parsley or green onion for garnish

Instructions

1. Peel and devein shrimp if needed. Mince garlic, steam broccoli, and cook rice.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.

3. In another bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to make a slurry.

4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 1–2 minutes per side until opaque. Remove and set aside.

5. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds. Add the sauce mixture and bring to a simmer.

6. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1–2 minutes until thick and glossy.

7. Return shrimp to the pan and coat with the glaze. Cook together for 1 more minute.

8. Assemble bowls with rice, glazed shrimp, and broccoli. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh herbs.

Notes

Dry your shrimp before cooking to help them sear nicely and not steam.

You can swap out the honey for maple syrup or brown sugar if preferred.

For a lower-carb option, serve with cauliflower rice or extra steamed vegetables.
