Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- Cooked rice or steamed vegetables for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove shrimp from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook in the skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2–3 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the shrimp.
- Drizzle with sesame oil if using. Serve hot over rice or vegetables and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- You can use frozen shrimp—just thaw completely and pat dry before marinating.
- This dish pairs well with jasmine rice, stir-fried veggies, or noodles.
