In a bowl, whisk together mayo (or yogurt), lemon juice, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper. Add water a bit at a time until it reaches drizzling consistency. - Grill the Shrimp
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp 2–3 minutes per side, until pink and lightly charred. - Assemble the Bowls
