Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, ground ginger, and sesame oil to make the sauce.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
Pour the sauce over the shrimp and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing it to thicken and coat the shrimp.
Divide the cooked rice into four bowls. Top each portion with a generous amount of shrimp and sauce.
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and a pinch of chili flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For meal prep, store shrimp and sauce separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat over medium heat before serving.
Medium shrimp can be used; reduce cooking time accordingly.
Use agave nectar instead of honey for a vegan version.
