# Components:
→ Seafood
01 - 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
→ Sauce Components
02 - 1/4 cup honey
03 - 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
04 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
→ Cooking Elements
06 - 1 tbsp olive oil

07 - 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
→ Thickener (Optional)
08 - 1 tsp cornstarch
09 - 1 tbsp water
→ Garnish
10 - 2 tbsp green onions, sliced
11 - 1 tsp sesame seeds
# Directions:
01 - Cook the white or brown rice according to package directions. Set aside once cooked.
02 - In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger. If using cornstarch for thickening, whisk it with the water in a separate small bowl until smooth, then incorporate it into the honey garlic sauce mixture.
03 - Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and develop a slightly golden hue.
04 - Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the cooked shrimp. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and evenly coats the shrimp.
05 - Serve the honey garlic shrimp and sauce over a generous portion of the warm cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
