Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp:

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons honey

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably low sodium)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

For the Cauliflower Rice:

1 medium head of cauliflower, riced (approximately 4 cups)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until you have a smooth marinade.

    Marinate the Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the mixing bowl with the marinade. Gently toss the shrimp until they are fully coated in the marinade. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 15-20 minutes, as this will enhance the flavor.

      Make the Cauliflower Rice: While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the cauliflower rice. Break the cauliflower into smaller florets and pulse them in a food processor until they achieve a rice-like texture. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

        Cook the Cauliflower Rice: Stir in the riced cauliflower to the pan. Season generously with salt and black pepper, then sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and cooked through. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.

          Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet or wok, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn opaque and start to caramelize, indicating they are cooked through.

            Assemble the Bowl: To serve, place a generous scoop of cauliflower rice in each bowl. Top with a hearty portion of the honey garlic shrimp. Finish by garnishing with thinly sliced green onions and chopped cilantro for an added burst of freshness.

              Serve: For an extra zesty kick, serve lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp bowl. Dive in and enjoy your delightful Sweet & Savory Honey Garlic Shrimp Bowl!
