Sweet. Sticky. Savory. High protein. Fast.
This is my "I need something quick, healthy, and ridiculously satisfying" dinner — and honestly, it’s weirdly better than takeout.

The shrimp get coated in a glossy garlic-honey glaze that’s both craveable and clean. And paired with fluffy cauliflower rice? It feels fancy but leaves you feeling light and energized, not bloated and regretful. (You know the feeling.)

This is one of my go-tos when I want something fast, high-protein, and gut-friendly — and don’t want to spend more than 20 minutes in the kitchen.

How to Make Honey Garlic Shrimp & Cauliflower Rice

Step 1: Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and minced garlic.

Step 2: Sauté the Shrimp
Heat a skillet with a little sesame oil (optional but delish).
Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Pour in the sauce and let it simmer for 1–2 minutes until thick and sticky.

Step 3: Warm the Cauliflower Rice
While the shrimp cooks, microwave or sauté your cauliflower rice. Add a pinch of salt or a splash of soy sauce if you like.

Step 4: Assemble & Serve
Spoon the sticky shrimp and sauce over your warm cauliflower rice. Top with chili flakes and sliced green onion. Devour immediately.

Sarah’s Tips & Swaps

• No shrimp? Try cubed chicken or tofu instead.

• Spice it up: Add sriracha or extra chili flakes for heat.

• Make it a bowl: Add cucumber slices, shredded carrots, or avocado for a nourish bowl twist.

• Meal prep friendly: The sauce + shrimp reheat beautifully.

Note from Sarah

I eat this when I want something fast and fancy-feeling — like when I want to eat clean but still crave flavor.
It satisfies that sweet-savory takeout craving but keeps my gut flat and happy. No bloat bomb here, sister. Just high-protein goodness that makes me feel light and lean.
