Equipment

  • large pan
  • small bowl
  • skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 9-10 oz thawed or fresh raw shrimp cleaned/peeled/deveined
  • 2-3 teaspoon sesame oil or avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes plus extra for a spicier dish
  • 2-4 tablespoon chopped/sliced green onion
  • 1 cup cooked rice or grain of choice
  • ½ cup julienned carrots for serving

HONEY GARLIC SAUCE

  • 4 cloves garlic minced (approx 1.5-2 TBSP)
  • ¼ cup raw honey
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon fresh minced/grated ginger (or jarred ginger paste if preferred)
  • ½-1 teaspoon corn starch to thicken sauce, optional

Instructions
 

  • For rice, cook via package instructions. This typically takes about 20 minutes so start rice first. You can also use noodles, quinoa, or cauliflower rice as your base.
  • Clean and peel shrimp, defrosting if needed. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Whisk together sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Heat a large pan or skillet to medium-high with oil of choice.
  • Cook shrimp on each side for about 1-2 minutes until shrimp start to curl but are still a bit under-done. Add red pepper flakes and half the green onion.
  • Add your sauce and cook for an additional minute or until the shrimp are cooked through.
  • For an extra thick sauce, remove and plate your shrimp, allowing the sauce some extra simmer time. Remove from heat once thickened and pour over shrimp.
  • Serve atop cooked rice with veggies of choice. Garnish with remaining chopped green onion.

Notes

The 20 minute cook time above is for those making rice, if using alternate grains for your bowl base, cook time will be much faster! Gluten-Free friends can use GF Tamari or wheat-free soy sauce.
