Description

A quick and delicious dish featuring shrimp cooked in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Steamed rice or vegetables for serving

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well-blended.
  2. Add the shrimp to the bowl, ensuring they are generously coated in the sauce. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer.
  4. Sizzle for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
  5. Transfer the shrimp onto a plate over a bed of steamed rice or alongside your favorite vegetables.

Notes

For a different twist, try cooking the shrimp in an air fryer for crispy results.
