Method
- Cook rice according to package directions. This usually takes about 20 minutes, so start the rice first. You can also use noodles, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.
- Prepare the shrimp: clean, peel, and devein if necessary. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Whisk together all the honey garlic sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat your chosen oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the shrimp for about 1-2 minutes per side, until they start to curl but are slightly undercooked. Add the red pepper flakes and half of the green onion when you flip the shrimp.
- Pour the prepared sauce into the pan with the shrimp. Cook for an additional minute, or until the shrimp are cooked through. Shrimp are done when they are curled and opaque.
- If you want a thicker sauce, remove the shrimp from the pan and let the sauce simmer for a few extra minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. Alternatively, whisk together 1/2-1 tsp cornstarch with 1/2-1 tsp cold water and add it to the sauce to thicken.
- Serve the shrimp and sauce over your cooked rice or grain base. Add your sauteed vegetables. Garnish with the remaining green onion. For extra spice, add more red pepper flakes or a drizzle of Sriracha.

Notes
If you are using grains other than rice for your bowl base, the cook time may be shorter. For a gluten-free version, use tamari or a wheat-free soy sauce. The nutrition facts are estimates and may vary based on ingredients used.
