- 1 pound Shrimp peeled & deveined

- ½ cup Honey
- 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Ginger freshly grated
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

- Now add the honey, chili flakes, lemon juice, and a bit of sriracha and let it cook for 2 more minutes.
- Serve hot on a bowl of steamed rice, topped with a drizzle of Sriracha and some chopped coriander leaves.
Notes
- Pat the shrimp dry before coating them for the best texture and sauce adhesion.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp.
- Shrimp cook quickly, so remove them from the heat as soon as they're pink and opaque.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha and chili flakes to suit your preferred spice level.
- Maple syrup or brown sugar can be used instead of honey.
- Add your favorite vegetables to turn this into a more substantial rice bowl.
- Store leftover rice and shrimp separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Reheat gently to prevent the shrimp from becoming tough.
