20 minute honey garlic shrimp

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (we usually use reduced sodium)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic)
• optional: 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 lb medium uncooked shrimp, peeled & deveined
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• Optional for garnish: chopped green onion
• Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Method

1. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger (if using) together in a medium bowl.
2. You will use half for the marinade in step 2 and half for cooking the shrimp in step 3.
3. Place shrimp in a large sealable container or zipped-top bag.
4. Pour 1/2 of the marinade/sauce mixture on top, give it all a shake or stir, then allow shrimp to marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or for up to 8-12 hours.
5. Cover and refrigerate the rest of the marinade for Step 3. (Time-saving tip: while the shrimp is marinating, we usually steam broccoli and microwave some quick brown rice.)
6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place shrimp in the skillet. (Discard used marinade.)
7. Cook shrimp on one side until pink, about 45 seconds, then flip shrimp over.
8. Pour in remaining marinade/sauce and cook it all until shrimp is cooked through, about 1-2 more minutes.
9. Serve shrimp with cooked marinade sauce and a garnish of green onion. The sauce is excellent on brown rice and steamed vegetables on the side.
