Saute the ginger and garlic in olive oil over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, or until fragrant.
Dust the shrimp with salt and red pepper flakes.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook on one side for 3 minutes, until pink. Flip each shrimp over and then add the coconut aminos and the honey. Remove the shrimp from the pan as the shrimp curl in on themselves and are fully opaque.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, add the green onions, then remove from heat.
Add the shrimp back to the skillet and toss everything together. Serve over white rice with steamed broccoli, and garnish with additional red pepper flakes if desired.

Skip the spice - if you're sensitive to spice, feel free to cut the red pepper flakes in half (so, 1/4 teaspoon instead of 1/2 teaspoon) or omit them altogether.

Serve as you wish - though fluffy white rice and steamed broccoli feel like an obvious pairing here, you can absolutely swap these out for any other sides. Rice noodles and steamed or lightly sautéed snap peas would also be delicious.

Make it a stir fry - follow this honey garlic shrimp recipe through step 3, then remove the sauce and shrimp from the skillet (transfer to a bowl and set aside). Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the now-empty skillet, then add a head of broccoli (cut into florets), 1 cup of snap peas, and 1 red bell pepper (cut into thin strips) to the skillet with the olive oil, and cook for 6-7 minutes, until the veggies are soft. Return the shrimp and honey garlic sauce to the pan and stir to combine. Let everything warm through, then serve over white rice!
