Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp:

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Orange Glaze:

1/2 cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 medium oranges)

Zest of 1 orange

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for slurry)

For Serving:

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 cup steamed broccoli florets

Sesame seeds for garnish

Sliced green onions for garnish

Lime wedges (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a large mixing bowl, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Sprinkle the cornstarch, salt, and pepper over the shrimp. Toss gently to ensure that all the shrimp are evenly coated with the mixture. Set the bowl aside to let the flavors meld.

    Make the Orange Glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

      Thicken the Glaze: Once the mixture reaches a simmer, stir in the cornstarch slurry (the cornstarch mixed with water). Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and set it aside.

        Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer to the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. If necessary, cook the shrimp in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.

          Glaze the Shrimp: Once all the shrimp are fully cooked, pour the prepared orange glaze over them in the skillet. Gently toss the shrimp until they are completely coated in the glaze, cooking for an additional minute until everything is heated through.

            Assemble the Bowls: To serve, divide the cooked jasmine rice evenly among serving bowls. Add a generous portion of steamed broccoli florets on top of the rice, then layer the sticky orange glazed shrimp over the vegetables.

              Garnish: Finish each bowl by sprinkling sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top. For an extra burst of flavor, serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the bowls just before eating.
