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. Pour in water and stir. 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 to cool.
  2. Alternatively, cook rice in a pot on the stove. Add rice to a deep pot and heat to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until rice fully absorbs the water.
  3. While rice cooks, prepare the shrimp and snap peas. For the shrimp sauce, combine raw honey, low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, minced fresh ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, and rice vinegar in a mixing bowl. Whisk until combined and 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.
  5. Pour the sauce over the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp is fully cooked and the sauce is heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  6. For the snap peas, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add fresh sugar snap peas and toss to coat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  7. Add lemon zest, sea salt, and ground black pepper to the snap peas. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the snap peas are crisp-tender.
  8. Assemble the meal prep containers. Divide the rice into 4 equal portions. Add the lemon snap peas to one side of the containers and top the rice with the honey garlic shrimp and sauce.
  9. Seal the lids tightly and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
