Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. This is your teriyaki base.
- Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Pour the teriyaki base into the same skillet. Bring to a simmer.
- Whisk the cornstarch slurry again and slowly pour it into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly in the sauce. Cook for 1 minute more.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among serving bowls.
- Top the rice with steamed broccoli and shredded carrots.
- Arrange the sauced shrimp over the vegetables.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in half of the teriyaki base for 15 minutes before cooking.
- You can substitute brown rice for white rice.
- Use frozen shrimp if necessary; thaw completely before cooking.
