Ingredients
  

Shrimp: 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Rice: 1 cup jasmine or brown rice

Vegetables:

1 cup bell peppers (any color), sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas

Teriyaki Sauce: 1/2 cup of your favorite store-bought or homemade teriyaki sauce

Garlic: 2 cloves, minced

Ginger: 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Green Onions: 2, sliced thinly for garnish

Sesame Seeds: 1 tablespoon for garnish

Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon for cooking

Salt & Pepper: to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch. In a medium-sized pot, combine 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then add in the rinsed rice. Stir once, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.

    Prepare the Shrimp: While the rice is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

      Cook the Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, then gently flip them and cook for an additional 2 minutes. They should turn pink and opaque when done.

        Add Vegetables: Toss the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and snap peas into the skillet along with the cooked shrimp. Stir-fry the mixture for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrant in color.

          Glaze with Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the shrimp and vegetable stir-fry. Stir well to coat all the ingredients evenly. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld together beautifully.

            Assemble the Bowls: To serve, scoop a generous portion of the cooked rice into individual bowls. Top each bowl with an ample serving of the teriyaki shrimp and veggie mixture.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish the dish by sprinkling sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and a delightful presentation. Enjoy your vibrant and delicious Flavor-Packed Teriyaki Shrimp and Veggie Rice Bowls!
