- 1 medium eggplant, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
- Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggplant: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced eggplant with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it out on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
- Cook the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they are browned and tender.
- Add the Shrimp: To the skillet with the mushrooms, add the shrimp. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Add Honey and Soy Sauce: Drizzle the honey over the shrimp and mushrooms, and add soy sauce if using. Stir well to combine and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Assemble the Bowls: In four bowls, divide the cooked rice evenly. Top each bowl with the shrimp and mushroom mixture, followed by the roasted eggplant.
