What you need to make quick honey garlic shrimp + substitutions:

Shrimp- We used already peeled and deveined shrimp. You could do it yourself, but it’s so much easier to buy it already done. We typically get our shrimp from either Whole Foods or Costco!
Soy sauce- The soy sauce adds the perfect touch of savory, salt, and flavor to this honey garlic shrimp recipe! We love to use tamari, but you could also use regular soy sauce, liquid aminos, or coconut aminos.
Honey- The honey adds a perfect touch of sweetness and pairs so well with the soy sauce. We did 3 tbsp and it felt like the perfect sweetness. If you want less, do 2 tbsp, or if you want more do 4 tbsp.
Garlic- Chopped or minced garlic is the perfect flavoring agent to this dish. It is best to cook first low to release the flavor and combine with shrimp. You can also use garlic powder if you prefer.
Broccoli- I just love pairing broccoli with shrimp and rice. I feel like the combination is so good together and the boys actually like broccoli! You could do green beans or any veggie you’d like.
Jasmine rice- We use jasmine rice for everything so that’s what we used for this meal! You can use any white rice or brown rice you prefer for this honey garlic shrimp dish.
Chicken Broth- Cooking the rice in chicken broth makes it so much better. If you’ve never tried it, you must. It’s a game changer and adds a great taste as well! You could use vegetable broth as well.
