Preparation

Heat a medium pot over medium heat.
When the pot is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then mirepoix. Cook, stirring often, until softened, 2-3 min.
Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt.

Add half the garlic puree and rice to the pot. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min.
Once water is boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15-18 min.
Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

Meanwhile, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
Thinly slice green onions.
Drain and rinse shrimp. Pat dry with paper towels. Season with 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
Add soy sauce, honey-garlic sauce, remaining garlic puree, 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) cornstarch to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine, then set aside.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a plate.

Add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter to the same pan, then swirl until melted.
Continue to cook butter, stirring often, until golden-brown, 2-3 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on butter so it doesn't burn!)
Add shrimp and honey garlic-soy mixture. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly and shrimp is cooked through, 4-5 min.**
Stir in zucchini.

Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the green onions. Season with salt, to taste.
Divide veggie rice between plates.
Top with shrimp and zucchini.
Sprinkle remaining green onions over top.
