Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp:

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

3 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Rice:

1 cup jasmine rice (or your preferred variety)

2 cups water or broth (chicken or vegetable)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt, to taste

For Toppings:

1 green onion, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice:

    - Begin by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold water in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This process eliminates excess starch and helps achieve fluffy rice.

      - In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water or broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil over high heat.

        - Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid has been completely absorbed.

          - Afterward, remove the pot from the heat, keeping it covered, and let it sit for an additional 5 minutes. Finally, fluff the rice with a fork and gently stir in the sesame oil to enhance the flavor.

            Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce:

              - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger (if using) until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

                Cook the Shrimp:

                  - Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet.

                    - Season the shrimp generously with salt and black pepper. Cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink and begin to curl slightly.

                      - Flip the shrimp over and immediately pour the honey garlic sauce over them. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly to coat the shrimp beautifully.

                        Assemble the Bowls:

                          - To serve, divide the fluffy jasmine rice into bowls and generously top each portion with the honey garlic shrimp.

                            - For a pop of flavor and color, garnish with sliced green onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with a lime wedge on the side to squeeze over the dish for an extra burst of freshness.

                              Enjoy!
