Instructions
- Step 1: Rinse 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rice with 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
- Step 2: While rice cooks, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
- Step 3: Add 1 lb peeled and deveined medium shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink and opaque, then flip.
- Step 4: Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp honey, cooking for another 2 minutes until shrimp are fully cooked and sauce slightly thickens.
- Step 5: Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle 2 sliced green onions over shrimp. Serve shrimp hot over the steamed jasmine rice.
