Pan seared shrimp with honey garlic sauce, broccoli and grains

Print Recipe

A delicious seafood dish

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 pound/ 340 grams uncooked shrimp, peeled & deveined
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • cooked grains (to serve) brown rice or other grains
  • (I used freekeh, see photo)
  • steamed broccoli to serve

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl whisk soy sauce, honey, water, chili flakes, and garlic together. Set aside.
  2. Use a medium bowl and add olive oil + shrimp.
  3. Toss to coat and season it with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat.
  5. Place the seafood into the skillet in a single layer and cook the shrimp 1-2 minutes on each side. (It will turn pink and be still a bit transluscent in the center.)
  6. Add soy honey garlic sauce and let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes more, until the shrimp is cooked through.
  7. Remove the seafood from skillet to not overcook.
  8. Reduce the sauce a bit to thicken but keep an eye on it as the sauce is easy to burn.
  9. Arrange the shrimp on 2 plates each with the honey garlic sauce over grains and broccoli.

Notes

  • You can serve this seafood dish with any whole grain: brown rice, millet or even with the pseudo grain quinoa for an extra protein rich meal. I used freekeh a spelt like grain with a smoky taste.
