Instructions
Cook the Brown Rice
Rinse brown rice and cook according to package directions using a 1 to 2 ratio of rice to water. This typically takes 18 minutes in a covered saucepan over low heat. Fluff with a fork when done and season lightly with salt.
Make the Dressing
Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger in a small bowl until fully combined. Set aside and allow the flavors to develop while you prepare the shrimp and edamame.
Grill the Shrimp
Thread shrimp onto skewers and grill over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side until pink with visible grill marks. Alternatively cook in a grill pan on the stovetop for the same amount of time per side.
Assemble the Bowl
Divide brown rice between two bowls. Top each with grilled shrimp and thawed edamame. Drizzle the sesame soy dressing generously over each bowl and toss gently before eating to coat every component.
