How to Make It
Step 1: Make the sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the shrimp
In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and stir until coated and sticky (about 2 more minutes).
Step 3: Build your bowl
Add rice as the base. Top with cooked shrimp, steamed broccoli, carrots, cucumber, and avocado. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Step 4: Store for later
Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Keep avocado and cucumber separate if prepping in advance.
Pro Tips
- Swap rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice to keep it low-carb.
