1-Getting started with Honey Garlic Shrimp Bowls: First, cook 1 cup of rice or grain according to package instructions, which takes about 20 minutes, or swap in quicker options like noodles or quinoa to speed things up. Once that’s underway, prepare the shrimp by cleaning and peeling if necessary, then season with a bit of salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors.

2-Whisk together the sauce ingredients: Next, whisk together the sauce ingredients starting with minced garlic, raw honey, low sodium soy sauce, the unspecified ingredient, lemon juice, and ginger setting it aside for later. Heat 2-3 teaspoons of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, then add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until they begin to curl. After flipping, toss in 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes and half of the green onions to build layers of flavor.

3-Cook the shrimp with sauce: Pour in the honey garlic sauce and cook for another minute until the shrimp are fully done and opaque. If you want a thicker sauce, remove the shrimp and simmer it longer, or mix in cornstarch with a little water for a quick fix.

4-Final serving: Finally, serve everything over your cooked base, add 1/2 cup of sautéed vegetables like julienned carrots, and garnish with the remaining green onions for a fresh finish.
