Ingredients
  

Shrimp
  • 9-10 oz shrimp thawed or fresh raw, cleaned/peeled/deveined
  • 2-3 tsp sesame oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes plus extra for a spicier dish
  • 2-4 TBSP green onion chopped/sliced
For the Bowls
  • 1 cup cooked rice or grain of choice
  • 1/2 cup sauteed veggies e.g., julienned carrots
Honey Garlic Sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced (approx 1.5-2 TBSP)
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 TBSP sweet chili sauce
  • 1 TBSP lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp fresh minced/grated ginger or jarred ginger paste
  • 1/2-1 tsp corn starch to thicken sauce, optional

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Large pan or skillet

Method
 

  1. Cook rice according to package directions. You can also use noodles, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.
  2. Prepare the shrimp: clean, peel, and devein if necessary. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Whisk together all honey garlic sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  4. Heat your chosen oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Cook shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until they begin to curl but are slightly underdone. Add red pepper flakes and half the green onion when you flip the shrimp.
  6. Pour the sauce into the pan and cook for an additional minute, or until the shrimp are cooked through.
  7. To thicken the sauce, you can simmer it for a few extra minutes after removing the shrimp, or whisk cornstarch with cold water and add it to the sauce.
  8. Serve the shrimp and sauce over your cooked rice or grain base, with sauteed vegetables. Garnish with the remaining green onion.
