cooked grains (to serve) brown rice or other grains
(I used freekeh, see photo)
steamed broccoli to serve
Instructions
In a small bowl whisk soy sauce, honey, water, chili flakes, and garlic together. Set aside.
Use a medium bowl and add olive oil + shrimp.
Toss to coat and season it with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat.
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.)
Add soy honey garlic sauce and let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes more, until the shrimp is cooked through.
Remove the seafood from skillet to not overcook.
Reduce the sauce a bit to thicken but keep an eye on it as the sauce is easy to burn.
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.
