Ingredients
1/3 C honey
1 C reduced sodium soy sauce
2 garlic cloves (minced, or 1 tsp jarred minced garlic)
1 tsp fresh ginger (minced, optional)
1 lb medium uncooked shrimp (peeled & deveined)
2 tsp olive oil
chopped green onions to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger (if using) together in a medium bowl. You will use half for the marinade in step 2 and half for cooking the shrimp in step 3.
- Place shrimp in a large sealable container or zipped-top bag. Pour ½ 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. Cover and refrigerate the rest of the marinade for step 3.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place shrimp in the skillet. (Discard this marinade.) Cook shrimp on one side until pink, about 45 seconds, then flip shrimp over. Pour in reserved marinade/sauce and cook until shrimp is cooked through, about 1-2 more minutes.
- Serve shrimp with sauce and a garnish of green onion. The sauce is excellent on brown rice and steamed vegetables on the side.
