Description
This honeyed, garlicky shrimp comes together in about 10 minutes and tastes like a takeout favorite — only fresher and higher in protein.
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Steamed rice or vegetables for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil.
- Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and add to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes until edges turn pink, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
- Pour the honey-garlic mixture over the shrimp. Toss to coat and cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce is syrupy and the shrimp are opaque.
- Remove from heat and serve over steamed rice or vegetables, spooning extra glaze over the top.
Notes
For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Swap honey for maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
