I’ve made this dish a couple of times now as part of my meal prep and I’m finally getting around to posting it! I would just include it in one of my meal prep posts, but really this is too good to bury in one of those posts. Plus it’s really easy! It’s filling but doesn’t feel heavy, which I think is perfect for lunch. And you can make it as spicy as you want…it’s spicy enough as is to make your nose run a little but not be overpowering. I’m not a fan of spicy when it overpowers the flavor of a dish.
I served mine on top of some mixed rice…it’s got brown and white rice, wild rice, red rice and basmati (I think I got that right). Whatever is in there, it tastes good and absorbs the sauce from the shrimp nicely. You may notice that the recipe below calls for green onions but what’s pictured are actually chives…the grocery store was fresh out of green onions so I had to put something in there! Chives are good on it, but green onions are better 🙂
This is my favorite way to steam broccoli…just stick it in a microwave safe bowl, cover it with a damp paper towel and microwave for a few minutes. Boom. So easy and you don’t have to worry about draining the nutrients out of the broccoli like you might with regular steaming. I added some soy sauce, honey and seasoning to my broccoli before I heated it up, but do what you feel is right.
This is about the time that I added the sauce to the shrimp. It needs to be cooked enough that you can drain off the extra juices before adding the sauce, but you don’t want it to be too cooked or else you’ll really overdue them when you bring the sauce to a boil and reduce it.

I kept my meal prepped portions of this stored in the fridge for 4 or 5 days and it was totally fine to eat. I wouldn’t push it past that amount of time in the fridge though – go for the freezer if you need to store it for longer.
