Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time5 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Course: Main
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 178.1kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh or frozen extra-large shrimp thawed, peeled and deveined
  • 4 heads baby bok choy
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • pinch of red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 teaspoon sesame seeds toasted
  • Serve over rice or cauliflower rice.

For the Teriyaki Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce reduced sodium ( or coconut aminos for Paleo)
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 ½ teaspoon honey or 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch or cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoon water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Place cleaned/deveined shrimp in a medium bowl. Set aside
  • In a small pan over medium heat combine the soy sauce, ½ cup water, honey, ginger, and garlic powder. While mixture is heating , whisk together cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Add cornstarch mixture to soy sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and continue to stir mixture frequently until it reaches desired thickness ( about 2-3 minutes).
  • Pour teriyaki over shrimp and gently mix to coat shrimp, let marinate while prepping the bok choy.
  • Cut heads of bok choy in half lengthwise. Place bok choy on prepared baking sheet (cut side up) leaving space in-between halves for shrimp. Using a silicone pastry brush lightly brush bok choy with sesame oil and sprinkle with red pepper flakes ( and/or black pepper) . Add shrimp to baking sheet in-between bok choy (leaving space around each shrimp so shrimp cooks through) Place sheet pan in oven and roast for 5 minutes. The shrimp should be opaque and the edges of bok choy will be beginning to char.( Careful not to overcook- the shrimp will continue to cook slightly after you remove them from the oven).
  • Sprinkle shrimp and bok choy with toasted sesame seeds and serve.
