To make these tasty Honey Garlic Shrimp Bowls, you'll need the right mix of ingredients. Each one plays a key role in bringing flavor and texture to the dish. Here’s what you'll need: - Shrimp - 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined - Marinade components - 2 tablespoons honey - 4 cloves garlic, minced - 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred) - 1 tablespoon ginger, grated - 1 tablespoon olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste - Vegetables - 1 cup broccoli florets - 1 red bell pepper, sliced - 1 carrot, julienned - 2 cups cooked jasmine rice - Garnishes - 2 green onions, sliced - Sesame seeds Each ingredient adds its own unique flavor. The shrimp, sweetened by honey, pairs well with garlic. The ginger gives a warm kick, while the soy sauce adds depth. Fresh veggies like broccoli and bell pepper add crunch and color. Finally, green onions and sesame seeds make the dish look and taste great! First, grab a medium bowl. You will whisk together the marinade ingredients. Add 2 tablespoons of honey, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger. Mix until smooth. Now, add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl. Toss the shrimp well, so they coat nicely in the marinade. Let the shrimp sit for 15 to 20 minutes. This makes the shrimp taste amazing. Next, take a large skillet and heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated shrimp. Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. They should turn pink and opaque when done. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside. This step is key for perfect shrimp. In the same skillet, add 1 cup of broccoli florets, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 julienned carrot. Sauté these veggies for about 5 to 7 minutes. You want them tender but still crisp. This adds a nice crunch to your bowl. Now, return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Mix the shrimp with the sautéed vegetables to heat them through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. To serve, place a scoop of cooked jasmine rice in each bowl. Top the rice with the shrimp and vegetable mix. Finally, garnish each bowl with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy your delicious honey garlic shrimp bowl! To make a great marinade, use fresh garlic and ginger. These add rich flavor. Whisk honey, garlic, soy sauce, and ginger well. Let the shrimp sit in this mix for 15-20 minutes. This will help the shrimp soak up all those tasty flavors. When cooking shrimp, heat your skillet to medium. Use olive oil to avoid sticking. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side. Look for pink and opaque shrimp, showing they are done. Overcooking makes them tough. Don’t crowd the pan; cook in batches if needed. You can swap out veggies based on your taste. Try snap peas or zucchini for a fresh twist. Bell peppers add color and crunch. Broccoli is great for texture, but feel free to change it. Use any veggies you love or have on hand. Just keep cooking times similar for best results. {{image_2}} You can swap shrimp for chicken or tofu. Chicken thighs work well and stay juicy. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and cook as you would the shrimp. Tofu is a great choice for a meatless meal. Use firm tofu, press it to remove water, then cube it. Marinate it just like the shrimp for great flavor. While jasmine rice is lovely, you can try other grains. Quinoa adds a nutty taste and boosts protein. Brown rice is heartier and full of fiber. For a fun twist, serve the dish over cauliflower rice. It gives a light and fresh feel. Choose the grain that fits your taste and health goals. Want to jazz it up? Add a splash of lime juice for tang. Fresh herbs like cilantro can brighten the dish. For heat, toss in some red pepper flakes. You can also add a dash of sesame oil for a nutty flavor. These small changes make a big impact. Experiment with flavors until you find your favorite mix! You can store leftover honey garlic shrimp bowls in the fridge. Place them in an airtight container. They will stay fresh for about 2-3 days. Make sure the shrimp and veggies are cooled before sealing the container. This helps keep them safe to eat later. If you want to save the shrimp bowls for longer, freezing is a great option. First, let the dish cool completely. Then, pack it in a freezer-safe container. You can also use freezer bags. Press out as much air as you can before sealing. The bowls can last for up to 2 months in the freezer. Just make sure to label them with the date. When you're ready to eat the leftovers, there are a few easy ways to reheat them. You can use the microwave. Just heat on medium power for 1-2 minutes. Stir halfway through to ensure even heating. If you prefer the stove, add the bowls to a pan on low heat. Stir gently until they are warmed through. Enjoy the flavors as if they were fresh! Yes, you can use frozen shrimp. Just thaw them first. Place the shrimp in cold water for a quick thaw. This will help them cook evenly. Make sure they are peeled and deveined before you marinate them. If you want a substitute for honey, try maple syrup or agave nectar. Both will add sweetness. You can also use brown sugar. Dissolve it in warm water for a similar effect. Each option will give a unique flavor. Yes, this recipe can be gluten-free. Use gluten-free soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce. Just check the label to be sure. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free, making this dish safe for those with gluten intolerance. In this blog post, I shared a simple shrimp recipe.
