Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine shrimp with honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare your veggies.
- If you haven't cooked the rice or quinoa yet, follow the package instructions to prepare it according to your preference. Set aside.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and snap peas. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Make sure to spoon some of the marinade over the shrimp for extra flavor!
Serving
- Once the shrimp is cooked, mix the sautéed vegetables back into the skillet. Serve over cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions in a charming bowl.
