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 and pour in water. Stir to combine. 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 the rice to cool.
  2. Alternatively, cook rice in a deep pot on the stove. 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. Pour in the sauce and cook until shrimp is fully cooked and sauce is heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  5. For the snap peas, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sugar snap peas and toss to coat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Divide the cooled rice into 4 meal prep containers. Add the lemon snap peas to one side and top with the honey garlic shrimp and sauce.
  7. Seal the containers tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
