Description
This Honey Garlic Shrimp Bowl combines succulent, protein-packed shrimp with a sticky, savory sauce that balances sweet honey and pungent garlic while avoiding refined sugars and processed junk. Every bite offers a satisfying texture, thanks to the snap of the shrimp and the crunch of fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
1 lb Large Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
3 tbsp Raw Honey
2 tbsp Coconut Aminos (or Tamari)
4 cloves Fresh Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (grated)
1 tbsp Avocado Oil
2 cups Broccoli Florets
2 cups Cooked Quinoa or Cauliflower Rice
Green Onions and Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small glass bowl, whisk together the raw honey, coconut aminos, minced garlic, and grated ginger
- Marinate the Shrimp: Place the cleaned shrimp in a shallow dish and pour half of the sauce over them. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature
- Steam the Vegetables: Lightly steam your broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until they retain their bright green color and a slight snap
- Sear the Shrimp: Heat the Avocado Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes on one side until golden brow
- Flip and Glaze: Flip the shrimp and pour the remaining sauce into the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the shrimp are opaque and the sauce coats them perfectly
- Assemble the Bowl: Distribute your base into bowls and top with steamed broccoli and honey garlic shrimp. Drizzle any extra sauce on top
- Garnish and Serve: Finish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately
Notes
For best results, ensure shrimp are not overcooked. They should curl into a 'C' shape and be opaque when done.
Always use fresh garlic for better flavor.
