Instructions

Start your rice cooking according to package instructions. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
Clean and peel the shrimp, then season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, honey, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, lemon juice, and ginger. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with your oil of choice.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until they start to curl.
Sprinkle in red pepper flakes and half of the chopped green onion while cooking the second side.
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp, cooking for an additional minute or until shrimp are fully cooked.
If desired, simmer the sauce further for a thicker consistency.
Serve the shrimp over cooked rice or base of choice with sautéed vegetables and garnish with remaining green onion and extra red pepper flakes.
