Ginger Shrimp with Scallions and Jasmine Rice

Very tasty, quick and easy, 9.5/10, will make again for sure :) While the bagged jasmine rice is convenient and fast, if you wish to make it from a regular bag of jasmine rice, that will be fine, simply follow the instructions on that bag (cook 1 cup of it). Also note that the directions are slightly different on the original recipe if doing this (I did not put any ginger in my rice).

Ingredients:

1 T. canola oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp. bottled minced ginger

1/4 c. honey

3 T. soy sauce

1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1 lb. shrimp, peeled & deveined

1 microwave bag jasmine rice

1 tsp. sesame oil

1/4 c. chopped scallions

Directions:

1. Add the canola oil to a medium-large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger, then stir/sauté for 1 min.

2. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to keep at a simmer for around 10 min, or until thickened and starting to caramelize. Stir mixture often to keep from burning.

3. Increase heat to medium/medium-high and add the shrimp. Stir to coat and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through (around 3-4 min.)

4. Meanwhile, prepare the jasmine rice according to the package directions, then stir in the sesame oil.

5. Plate the rice topped with shrimp, then garnish with scallions. Enjoy!
