🔥 Directions
1. Make the Hot Honey Garlic Sauce
In a small bowl, mix hot honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and garlic. Set aside.
2. Cook the Shrimp
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add shrimp in a single layer. Cook 2 minutes on one side until pink, then flip. Pour in the hot honey garlic sauce and cook another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the shrimp are coated and slightly caramelized.
3. Build the Bowls
Scoop warm rice into bowls. Top with shrimp, shredded cabbage, avocado, and cucumber. Drizzle any extra sauce from the pan over the top.
