Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp:

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

3 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

For the Cauliflower Rice:

1 medium head of cauliflower, grated or processed into rice-sized pieces

1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 green onion, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinating the Shrimp:

    In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Add the shrimp, tossing to coat well. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes in the fridge for more flavor).

      Preparing the Cauliflower Rice:

        If using a whole head of cauliflower, remove the leaves and stem. Cut it into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

          Cooking the Shrimp:

            In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp (reserve the marinade) and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink. Flip them over, pour in the reserved marinade, and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring to coat the shrimp in the sauce.

              Assembling the Bowl:

                In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of cauliflower rice. Top with the honey garlic shrimp, making sure to drizzle some of the sauce over the shrimp.

                  Garnishing:

                    Finish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor.

                      Serve Warm:

                        Enjoy your Honey Garlic Shrimp and Cauliflower Rice Bowl warm, a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors!
