Instructions
- Step 1: Rinse 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear, then combine with 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan.

- Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp red chili flakes, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 4: Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
- Step 5: Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp lime juice, cooking for an additional 1 minute until shrimp is glazed and sauce slightly thickens.
- Step 6: Serve the shrimp immediately over the steamed jasmine rice.
