2 tablespoons honey

3 cloves garlic, minced

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

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon sesame oil

For the Cauliflower Rice:

1 small head of cauliflower, riced (or 4 cups pre-riced cauliflower)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon ginger, grated

1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

For Serving:

Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Lime wedges

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cauliflower Rice:

    - If you are using a whole cauliflower, chop it into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until it resembles rice. Alternatively, use pre-riced cauliflower for convenience.

      - In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

        - Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, along with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Stir well and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

          Marinate the Shrimp:

            - In a bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for about 15 minutes while you prepare the other components.

              Cook the Shrimp:

                - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once heated, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink and opaque, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Ensure not to overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.

                  Assemble the Bowls:

                    - In serving bowls, place a generous portion of cauliflower rice at the bottom. Top with the cooked honey garlic shrimp and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Add fresh cilantro if desired.

                      Serve:

                        - Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your healthy, delicious Honey Garlic Shrimp and Cauliflower Rice Bowls!
