Instructions
- Step 1: Rinse 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
- Step 2: Meanwhile, season 1 lb peeled and deveined raw shrimp evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 tbsp julienned fresh ginger, 3 thinly sliced scallions, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Step 4: Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
- Step 5: Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp honey, cooking for another minute until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the shrimp.
- Step 6: Fluff the jasmine rice with a fork and serve the sautéed shrimp and sauce over the rice immediately.
