🍀 Enjoy a quick and flavorful 20 Minute Honey Garlic Shrimp dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights.
πŸ”₯ This recipe combines sweet honey and savory garlic with tender shrimp for a delicious and healthy meal.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes to 8 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

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.
