High-Protein Honey Garlic Shrimp
Juicy shrimp, broccoli, edamame, and cauliflower rice are tossed in a sticky honey garlic sauce for a quick, high-protein dinner that tastes bold, fresh, and seriously satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup shelled edamame
- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and black pepper until smooth.
- Add the olive oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the shelled edamame and cauliflower rice, then cook for 2 more minutes until hot and just tender. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the shrimp to the same skillet in an even layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until pink and nearly cooked through.
- Return the broccoli, edamame, and cauliflower rice to the skillet.
- Pour in the sauce and toss everything together for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the shrimp and vegetables.
- Remove from the heat and top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Pat the shrimp dry before cooking for better texture and a better glaze.
- Do not overcook the shrimp, because they can turn rubbery quickly.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a little chili garlic sauce.
- You can swap the cauliflower rice for cooked quinoa or brown rice if preferred.
