Mix low sodium soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice, honey, and a splash of water in a bowl.

Add a tablespoon or two of the sauce to some raw shrimp and fold the shrimp in the sauce.

Set the shrimp aside to marinate.

In a deep skillet, add brown rice, stock, water, lemon zest, and olive oil.

Cover and cook until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

When the rice is almost finished, add broccoli on top to steam.

Clear the skillet, then toss in onion and bell pepper, spraying with a little olive oil if needed.

Stir and cook until the vegetables have a nice sear, then remove them from the skillet.

Add more olive oil to the skillet, then toss in the marinated shrimp.

While the shrimp is cooking, add more water to the sauce along with arrowroot to thicken it up.

Pour in the sauce, stir quickly as it bubbles, and remove from heat.

Bring everything together by adding the lemony rice, seared veggies, steamed broccoli, and sweet honey lemon shrimp.
