Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tbsp honey

3 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp sesame oil (optional for extra flavor)

2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa

1 cup broccoli florets (steamed until tender)

1 cup snap peas, trimmed and washed

1 carrot, julienned into thin strips

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp Marinade: In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well blended. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this marinade for later use.

    Marinate the Shrimp: In a large mixing bowl, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Pour the majority of the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow the shrimp to marinate for about 10 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.

      Cook the Shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet (discard any leftover marinade). Cook the shrimp for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat.

        Prepare the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the steamed broccoli, snap peas, and julienned carrots. If desired, drizzle with sesame oil to enhance the flavor. Sauté the vegetables for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and tender-crisp.

          Assemble the Bowls: Scoop the cooked brown rice or quinoa into four serving bowls. Top each bowl with an equal portion of the sautéed vegetables, followed by the honey garlic shrimp. Use the reserved marinade to drizzle over the top for an extra burst of flavor.

            Garnish: Finish each bowl with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added color and a delightful crunch.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the shrimp bowls immediately while hot, relishing the delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors in each bite!
