Vibrantly colorful and flavorful bowls of juicy spiced shrimp, tender and caramelized vegetables, and fluffy rice

In a small saucepan or rice cooker, cook yellow rice according to package directions.
Meanwhile, prepare the produce ingredients: Mince garlic and chop onion, remove collard greens from stems and chiffonade, trim okra and cut into pieces, chop tomato into chunks (about one inch), peel and cut the sweet potato into ½ inch cubes.
In a large, non-stick skillet, heat about 1 tablespoon olive oil and ⅓ cup water over medium-high heat. Add in garlic, onion, and collard greens. Cook until water dissipates (about 8 minutes) then add a bit more olive oil. Saute greens until tender (about 10 minutes). Remove from pan.
Add a bit more olive oil to pan then tomato. Cook until it breaks down (about 5 minutes). Add okra, sea salt, and crushed red pepper. Saute about 7 minutes. Remove from pan.
Add a bit more olive oil to pan then the sweet potato, sea salt, and cinnamon. Cook until tender (about 7 minutes) then stir in honey and allow to caramelize (about 2 minutes). Remove from pan.
Meanwhile, season shrimp with sea salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper, and lemon juice. Add a bit more olive oil to pan followed by shrimp. Saute shrimp for about 5 minutes or until cooked through, flipping halfway.
To assemble, divide ingredients between two bowls.
