Pan seared shrimp with honey garlic sauce, broccoli and grains - Genuis recipe

Ingredients: 3/4 pound/ 340 grams uncooked shrimp, peeled & deveined 2 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon water 2 cloves of garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon crushed chili flakes 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) salt and ground black pepper to taste cooked grains (to serve) brown rice or other grains (I used freekeh, see photo) steamed broccoli to serve Instructions: In a medium bowl whisk soy sauce, honey, water, chili flakes, and garlic together. Set aside. Use another medium bowl and add olive oil + shrimp. Toss to coat and season it with salt and pepper. Heat a pan or small saucepan over medium-high heat. Place the shrimp into the pan and sear 1-2 minutes on each side, until nicely seared but still a bit transluscent in the center. Add soy honey garlic sauce and let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes more, until the shrimp is cooked through. Remove the seafood from pan to not overcook. Reduce the sauce a bit to thicken but keep an eye on it as the sauce is easy to burn. Arrange the shrimp on 2 plates each with the honey garlic sauce over grains and broccoli. Notes: You can serve this seafood dish with any whole grain: brown rice, millet or even with the pseudo grain quinoa for an extra protein rich meal. I used freekeh a spelt like grain with a smoky taste. By Gabi Rupp
