Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold water.
- In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
- Add the rinsed rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
- While the rice is cooking, bring another pot of water to a boil.
- Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger. Set aside.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
- Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the shrimp.
- Divide the cooked brown rice into four bowls.
- Top each bowl with broccoli florets and honey garlic shrimp.
- Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the top.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your sweet and spicy honey garlic shrimp with brown rice and broccoli!
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen shrimp for the best quality. If frozen, thaw shrimp before cooking.
- To save time, cook the brown rice and steam the broccoli simultaneously while preparing the shrimp.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Add a splash of lemon juice to the shrimp just before serving to enhance the flavors.
- Ensure the shrimp is not overcooked by watching for its color to turn pink and tails to curl slightly.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or green onions for added color and freshness.
In just 20 minutes, you can create a delicious and balanced meal that combines sweet, spicy, and savory elements.
