Description
A quick and healthy shrimp rice bowl featuring tender shrimp and colorful vegetables, flavored with garlic, ginger, and soy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
- 2 cups water or vegetable broth
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced or grated
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Green onions, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Combine rice and 2 cups of water (or broth) in a pot; bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- While the rice cooks, pat shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add shrimp in a single layer and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until they turn opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- In the same pan, add bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender. Add garlic and ginger; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return shrimp to the pan. Stir in soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Toss together to coat; cook for another 1–2 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Divide rice among bowls, top with shrimp and vegetables, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
This dish can easily be customized with seasonal vegetables. Use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option. Ideal for meal prep and gatherings.
