Ingredients
Shrimp
For this dish, use one pound of large shrimp. Peeled and deveined shrimp cook quickly and absorb flavors beautifully. They provide protein and are low in calories, making them an excellent choice for a healthy meal.
Rice
You’ll need one cup of jasmine or basmati rice. This type of rice is fragrant and fluffy when cooked properly. It serves as the perfect base for the flavorful shrimp and sauce.
Honey
Use about three tablespoons of honey for sweetness. Honey adds depth and balances the savory notes in the sauce perfectly while providing natural sweetness without refined sugars.
Garlic
Two cloves of minced garlic are essential in this recipe. Garlic not only enhances flavor but also brings health benefits like improved immunity. Freshly minced garlic offers the best taste compared to pre-minced options.
Soy Sauce
Incorporate two tablespoons of soy sauce into your dish. Soy sauce adds umami depth and saltiness that complements the sweetness of honey beautifully. Use low-sodium soy sauce if you’re watching your salt intake.
Green Onions
Top your bowl with two green onions, chopped finely. These add freshness and crunch to the dish while enhancing its presentation with vibrant color.
Sesame Oil
Add one teaspoon of sesame oil for a nutty aroma. This oil enriches the overall flavor profile while providing healthy fats that complement the other ingredients.
