Ingredients
– 1/3 cup honey for natural sweetness and a glossy finish
– 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce to add umami and saltiness
– 2 garlic cloves minced (or 1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic) for pungent flavor and health benefits
– 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger (optional) to enhance with a spicy, aromatic touch
– 1 pound medium uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined provides lean protein and quick cooking
– 2 teaspoons olive oil used for sautΓ©ing and adds healthy fats
– Chopped green onion (optional) for garnish and a fresh taste
Instructions
1-First, prepare your ingredients by peeling and deveining the shrimp, mincing the garlic, and measuring out the honey, soy sauce, oil, and ginger.
2-Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
3-Once the shrimp is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and optional ginger, sautΓ©ing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the honey and soy sauce, letting it simmer for 2 minutes to form a thick glaze that coats the shrimp perfectly.
4-Return the shrimp to the pan and toss everything together to cover evenly. For a finishing touch, garnish with chopped green onion if desired. Serve right away with sides like rice or veggies for a complete meal that suits busy parents or food enthusiasts.
