It’s Saturday evening and I needed to whip up sometime fast for my hungry family. This recipe is so easy to make and you will be surprised how quickly it all comes together. I was able to serve dinner in less than thirty minutes so this would make a great 30 minute meal to add to your collection of meals to make in a hurry – and most importantly? Super easy!! I love super easy!

Sticky Honey Butter Shrimp w/Homemade Fried Rice

Ingredients for Sticky Honey Butter Shrimp

1/2 cup Honey

1/4 cup Soy Sauce

3 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice

1 pound Large Shrimp peeled and deveined (I used frozen shrimp and quickly thawed according to package directions)

2 Tablespoons Butter

Green Onions for garnish

Directions

In a small bowl whisk honey, soy sauce and lemon juice together. Add half of the sauce to the shrimp and marinade for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

In a medium sized skillet add the butter and melt on low heat. Add the shrimp. Season with salt pepper if desired.

Turn the heat up to medium high. Cook until the shrimp turns pink – will be about 2 minutes on each side.

Add the reserved marinade and pour over the shrimp. Cook until the sauce starts to thicken and coats the shrimp.

Garnish with green onions.

Ingredients for Homemade Fried Rice

2 cups cooked white rice

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cups cooked broccoli and chop into small pieces

1 cup cooked carrots, diced into small pieces

1 onion diced (optional)

2-3 tablespoons of soy sauce (more or less to taste)

2 eggs, lightly beaten

Optional: 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped

Note: You can use any vegetables that you prefer. Some ideas are diced bell peppers…peas…onions…add water chestnuts…as long as you are careful to use the proportions correctly. This is a great recipe because it allows you to be creative with the veggies.

Directions

Preheat a large skillet to a medium heat. Add the olive oil and once heated add the vegetables and soy sauce. Cook until tender.

Slide the veggies to the side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs onto the other side of the skillet.

Using a spatula, scramble the eggs.

Once the eggs are cooked, mix the eggs with the vegetable mixture.

Add the rice to the veggies and egg mixture. Pour more soy sauce on top if desired.

Stir and fry the rice and veggie mixture until warmed through and combined.

Optional: Add chopped green onions if desired.

Enjoy your dinner! 😋
