Honey Garlic Shrimp
🛒 Ingredients (serves 2–3)
- 1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled & deveined
- 3 tbsp honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or butter)
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Chopped green onions and sesame seeds, for garnish
🍳 Instructions
- Prep the shrimp
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper. - Make the sauce
In a small bowl, mix honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside. - Cook the shrimp
Heat olive oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add shrimp in a single layer. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside. - Make it saucy
Reduce heat to medium. Pour the honey-garlic mixture into the same pan. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly. - Combine & coat
Return shrimp to the pan. Toss well to coat in the sauce for 1–2 minutes. - Serve & garnish
Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over steamed rice, noodles, or veggies.
🔥 Tips
- Extra sticky sauce: Add 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water while simmering.
- Lemon twist: Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the shrimp before serving for brightness.
- Veggie boost: Toss in broccoli, snap peas, or bell peppers for a one-pan meal.
