Healthy Sriracha Honey Shrimp Meal Prep
Recently, H’s been working in Toronto instead of out of town, and I’ve been doubling my hours at work, so meal prepping has really been saving my butt when it comes to meals at work. With our meals now doubling, it means I’ve been having to meal prep twice a week instead of once (I usually make 4 servings per meal when meal prepping). I don’t mind, as it gives me a chance to mix up our weekly lunches, but it means I’ve been trying to work on making speedier meal preps. This delicious but healthy Sriracha Honey Shrimp meal prep is just that! It takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish! It’s beyond easy to make, and it has a great kick, thanks to the sriracha.
What You’ll Need to Make this Sriracha Honey Shrimp
- rice (or whatever grain you prefer)
- garlic
- red pepper flakes
- honey
- sriracha
- soy sauce or tamari
- a bag of shrimp (360g)
- carrot
- broccoli
- corn
- snow peas or snap peas
Tips on making the perfect Sriracha Honey Shrimp Meal Prep
- I mixed my sauce ahead of time and set it aside. I added my cornstarch to the mix at the same time as well to help thicken the sauce. It continues to thicken once the sauce goes onto the pan. To cut down on time, I don’t reduce and cook the sauce on its own.
- Make sure your pan is hot before dropping your shrimp in. Once the shrimp it in and flat, let it sear on one side before flipping them. Avoid moving them around too much so they can sear properly.
- Be sure to pat your shrimp dry before seasoning and placing them in the pan.
- Other ingredients you can add or sub in are: onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, tofu, cauliflower, cabbage, peanuts/cashews, baby boy choy, zucchini, seaweed, and more!
- Other things you can serve your sriracha honey shrimp over: lentils, quinoa, noodles, and brown rice.
- Making this for dinner? Add a sunny side up egg over your sriracha honey shrimp to add a creamy richness to it.
- Be sure to use a large enough pan when stir frying to avoid overcrowding. I used the Ballarini Bologna 11-Inch Granitium Frying Pan. It’s also non-stick so it makes cleaning a lot easier!
Sriracha Honey Shrimp Meal Prep
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked rice, (jasmine or your choice)
Sriracha Honey Sauce
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- ½ tablespoon red chili flakes, or less
- 2 tablespoons honey

- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrot

Instructions
- Cook your rice either on the stove top or rice cooker. Follow the directions provided by your rice bag. (Here's how I cook jasmine rice).
- In a bowl, combine the garlic, red pepper flakes, honey, soy sauce, sriracha, water, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Using a paper towel, pat dry the shrimp and season with some salt and pepper.
- Place a non-stick pan over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Sear the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and sear the other side for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside for later.

Theis sriracha shrimp stir-fry is exactly how my family likes to eat. Lots of fresh vegetables, a light protein and a flavor-packed sauce. This recipe would make one meal for my family — so in order to do meal prep for future, I’d probably have to double or triple it… Will the proportions work well in that manner?
Tina says
My hubby loves shrimp and I love the idea of meal prepping. Sometimes I work late and don’t have time for cooking, saving this for busy weeks, I think he is going to love this. Thanks for the recipe!
Julia says
Wow, this meal looks like a rainbow in a bowl! So pretty! I am now totally craving it! I love sriracha! I would use maple syrup though as I don’t eat honey. Oh, and your suggestion about adding an egg on top is super enticing!
Stef says
I am so terrible at planning meals in advance. This is really inspiring. It would be wonderful to have these shrimp ready to go! We always have rice in house so it would be so handy to just throw some over rice. Thanks for the inspiration!
Marisa Franca says
We eat lots of shrimp and are always looking for a new recipe. This is such a great idea and the dish is so pretty. And sriracha is one of our favorite sauces!! I can’t wait to make the dish — I know it’ll be a favorite.
Dana says
Sriracha and shrimp are two of my most favorite things! Add to that some crunchy veggies and I’m set. However, I’m the worst at meal prep. I don’t know what it is. I need to change that, because it would free up so much time and I’d feel so much less run down. Definitely going to start putting your recipes and tips to use!
Sean says
YUM. This really reminds me that I need to do more meal prep. It’s been nuts around here lately and I’ve been scrambling for meals more often than I’d care to admit. Everyone in my house loves pretty much everything in this meal, and I can definitely live with 30 minutes start-to-finish. Love it! Cheers!
donna says
I am totally obsessed with everything Sriracha, and this sounds like such a great meal, especially with all the meal prep instructions that would make it soooo much easier to get a great dinner on the table during a busy week. Adding it to the rotation, especially with all those lovely crunchy veggies packed in there!
Mindy says
I made this last night and doubled the chili flakes. It was SO good! I’ve been loving everything you’ve posted that I’ve tried. Thanks for sharing!
Pia says
Carmy is the best thing that has happened to my meal planning! I made this dish twice… in a week. Can’t wait to work my way through the blog posts! Thank you!
Carmy says
