Ingredients
– 9-10 oz (approximately 255-280 grams) thawed or fresh raw shrimp, cleaned, peeled, and deveined
– 2-3 teaspoons avocado or other cooking oil
– ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
– 2-4 tablespoons chopped or sliced green onion
– 1 cup cooked rice or grain of choice
– ½ cup sautéed vegetables, such as julienned carrots (optional)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 1.5-2 tablespoons)
– ¼ cup raw honey (approximately 85 ml)
– ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce (approximately 60 ml)
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice (approximately 30 ml)
– ½ teaspoon fresh minced or grated ginger (or jarred ginger paste)
– ½ to 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
1-Cook 1 cup of rice or grain according to package instructions, which usually takes about 20 minutes. Alternatives such as noodles, quinoa, or cauliflower rice can also be used.
2-Clean, peel, and devein shrimp if not pre-prepared. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and set aside.
3-Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
4-Heat 2-3 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5-Cook shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until they start to curl but are slightly undercooked. After flipping, add ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes and half of the green onions.
6-Pour sauce over shrimp and cook for an additional 1 minute or until shrimp are fully cooked, curled, and opaque.
7-For a thicker sauce, remove shrimp and allow sauce to simmer, stirring occasionally. Adding cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with cold water) can speed thickening if desired.
8-Serve shrimp over cooked rice or chosen base with sautéed vegetables. Garnish with remaining green onions and extra red pepper flakes or chili sauce if preferred.
