Description

This easy shrimp rice bowl pairs sweet and sour marinated shrimp with lots of fresh vegetables. Served over warm jasmine rice, this dish is full of flavor.

Ingredients

1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 tablespoon chile paste
1/2 pound cooked shrimp
3 cups water
2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups sugar snap peas
1 orange bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Directions

1 Whisk soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, orange marmalade, and chili paste together in a small bowl. Stir in shrimp, then cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2 Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and all liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
3 When the rice is almost finished, heat oil in a large skillet or wok. Add snap peas, bell peppers, and onion and sauté until just beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
4 Add marinated shrimp, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil; continue to cook until shrimp is heated through, 2 to 3 more minutes.
5 Serve shrimp and vegetables over hot rice, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
