Ingredients
  

For The Honey Garlic Shrimp
  • 2 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined
  • ½ teaspoon olive oil
For the Instant Pot Brown Rice
  • 1 ½ cups brown rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups water
For the Lemon Sugar Snap Peas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb fresh sugar snap peas
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest freshly grated
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Meal prep containers

Method
 

  1. Start with the brown rice. Add uncooked brown rice to the Instant Pot. Pour in water and stir. Seal the lid and select the RICE option on high pressure. When done, carefully remove the lid and fluff the brown rice with a fork. Allow to cool.
  2. Alternatively, cook rice in a pot on the stove: add rice to a deep pot, heat to a simmer over medium heat, then cook for 25-30 minutes, or until water is absorbed.
  3. While rice cooks, prepare the shrimp and snap peas. For the shrimp sauce, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, red pepper flakes, and rice vinegar in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until pink on both sides, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Pour the sauce over the shrimp. Cook until shrimp is fully cooked and sauce is heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  6. For the snap peas, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add snap peas and toss to coat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  7. Add lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until snap peas are crisp-tender.
  8. Divide the cooled rice into 4 meal prep containers. Add snap peas to one side and top with honey garlic shrimp and sauce.
  9. Seal containers tightly and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
