Ingredients
- 300g shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 200g Brussels sprouts, halved
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, julienned
- 1 cup long grain rice
- 2 tablespoons honey

- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Start by cooking the long grain rice according to package instructions. Typically, this involves rinsing the rice, then boiling it in water until tender. Once done, set aside.
- Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red onion, Brussels sprouts, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Add the Shrimp: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the remaining olive oil. Add the shrimp and minced ginger to the center of the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Combine and Flavor: Once the shrimp are cooked, mix everything in the skillet. Drizzle the honey over the stir-fry and add the chopped rosemary and dill. Stir well to combine and heat through for another minute.
- Serve: Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it among three plates. Top each serving with the shrimp and vegetable stir-fry. Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions on top for garnish.
