Follow this detailed recipe to make a flavorful Garlic Butter Shrimp Rice Bowl, complete with a rich homemade garlic sauce and simple assembly instructions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (sushi or jasmine recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets (for serving)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (for sauce)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
  2. Make the garlic sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, and 2 minced garlic cloves until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Cook the shrimp: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  5. Remove the shrimp from the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Let it melt and lightly brown, scraping up any bits from the bottom.
  6. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat completely in the garlic butter sauce.
  7. Assemble the bowl: Divide the cooked rice between two bowls. Top each bowl with half of the steamed broccoli florets.
  8. Arrange the Garlic Butter Shrimp over the rice and vegetables.
  9. Drizzle the prepared garlic sauce generously over the shrimp and rice.
  10. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving your Garlic Butter Shrimp Rice Bowl.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use brown butter for the final toss with the shrimp.
  • You can substitute jasmine rice with brown rice for a nuttier flavor profile.
  • If you prefer a thinner sauce, add 1 teaspoon of water to the sauce mixture.
