Prepare a quick and flavorful shrimp bowl featuring shrimp coated in a sticky, sweet, and spicy honey garlic sauce, served over steamed rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)
  • Optional: Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare your rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the shrimp to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Do not overcook.
  5. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the shrimp in the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  6. Stir the cornstarch slurry once more and pour it slowly into the simmering sauce while stirring constantly. The sauce will thicken quickly.
  7. Cook for 30 seconds until the sauce coats the shrimp evenly and becomes sticky.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat immediately.
  9. Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with the spicy honey garlic shrimp.
  10. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • To control the spice level, start with 1 teaspoon of sriracha and add more at the end if needed.
  • Jasmine rice works well for this Asian-inspired dish, but brown rice is a good alternative.
  • Ensure your shrimp are dry before cooking; this helps them sear instead of steam.
