1-Getting started: with honey garlic shrimp bowls is as easy as following a few simple steps. First, cook 1 cup of rice or your chosen grain according to the package instructions, which takes about 20 minutes, so begin here to save time. Next, prepare the shrimp by cleaning, peeling, and seasoning them with a bit of salt and pepper for extra taste.

2-Whisk together: the sauce ingredients in a small bowl to create that irresistible honey garlic mix. Heat 2 to 3 teaspoons of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, then add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until they start to curl and are nearly done. After flipping, toss in the red pepper flakes and half the green onions to build layers of flavor.

3-Pour the honey garlic sauce: into the pan and let it cook for another minute until the shrimp are fully opaque and curled. If you want a thicker sauce, remove the shrimp and simmer the sauce longer, or stir in a cornstarch mixture made with cold water. Finally, serve the shrimp and sauce over the cooked rice or grain, topped with sautéed vegetables and the remaining green onions for a fresh finish.
