Cooking Shrimp
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side until pink and curled into a ‘C’ shape.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp as they will finish cooking in the sauce.
Saucing

- Stir gently to ensure each shrimp is well-covered in flavor, cooking for about 2 minutes.
Veggie Prep
- Steam or sauté broccoli until bright green and fork-tender.
Assembly
- Scoop your rice or quinoa into bowls. Top with the honey garlic shrimp, spoon over the sauce, and add your veggies.
- Finish with a sprinkle of green onions and optional sesame seeds or red pepper flakes.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
