Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 4 cups cooked rice brown or white
  • 3 tablespoons honey pure
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce low-sodium recommended
  • 2 cloves garlic minced fresh
  • 1 teaspoon ginger freshly grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • sesame seeds for garnish
  • green onions thinly sliced for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Skillet or Wok
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Garlic press or fine grater
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of honey, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups of broccoli florets, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp. Remove broccoli and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed, then add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
  4. Pour the honey-garlic sauce over the shrimp in the skillet. Toss to coat evenly and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the shrimp.
  5. Return the sautéed broccoli to the skillet. Toss gently to coat shrimp and broccoli in the sauce.
  6. Spoon 1 cup of cooked rice into each bowl. Top with the shrimp and broccoli mixture. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels without compromising flavor.
  • Swap white rice for cauliflower rice to reduce carbs and increase vegetable intake.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; keep rice separate for best texture.
