They add color and crunch, making the dish more fun. Green onions and sesame seeds are perfect for garnishing. They make the meal look pretty and add extra flavor.

Finally, jasmine rice serves as a soft base for all the delicious toppings. You can find the complete recipe for this tasty dish in the full recipe section. First, gather your ingredients. You need honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Combine these in a bowl and whisk well. This mix gives the shrimp great flavor. Next, add your peeled and deveined shrimp to this bowl. Make sure they are well coated. Let them marinate for 15 minutes. This step is key for tasty shrimp. While the shrimp marinates, you can prepare your veggies. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry these for about 5 minutes. You want them tender-crisp, bright, and colorful. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside. This keeps them fresh and crunchy. Now it's time to cook the shrimp. Take the marinated shrimp and add them to the same skillet. Pour in the remaining marinade too. Cook the shrimp for 3-4 minutes on each side. They will turn pink and should be fully cooked. This quick cooking keeps them juicy and tender. Let's put it all together!

Finally, add the cooked honey garlic shrimp on top. Make it look nice by arranging everything well. This dish is not just tasty; it’s also beautiful! For more details, check the Full Recipe. When picking shrimp, fresh is often best. Fresh shrimp has a sweet flavor and a firm texture. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen works just fine. Always check for a clean smell and firm bodies. To clean shrimp, you need to devein them. Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold water. Use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back. Remove the dark vein with the knife or your fingers. Rinse again, and they are ready to cook. If you want to change up the sweetness, try maple syrup or agave. These sweeteners work well and add a unique taste. You can also mix in spices like cayenne for heat or smoked paprika for depth. Fresh herbs like cilantro or basil can brighten the dish. To make your bowl pop, use colorful veggies. Bright red bell peppers, green broccoli, and orange carrots create a feast for the eyes. Arrange your shrimp and veggies neatly on top of the rice. This makes each bowl look like a work of art. Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a final touch. The visual appeal makes eating more fun!

Tofu needs about 5-7 minutes to brown. Scallops only need 2-3 minutes per side. Feel free to change the veggies based on what you like. Seasonal vegetables like asparagus or zucchini work nicely.
