Rinse quinoa under cold water.
In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, water or broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2️⃣ Prepare the Hot Honey Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together hot honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper.
Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Lower the heat, pour the hot honey glaze over the shrimp, and toss to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.

Divide quinoa into serving bowls.
Arrange arugula, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, avocado, and roasted corn around the bowl.
Top with the hot honey shrimp in the center.
