Description
An easy, high-protein shrimp dish with a sweet and salty honey garlic glaze, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Steamed rice or vegetables for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the shrimp in a single layer. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed until the undersides are pink and slightly golden, about 3–4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side 3–4 minutes until opaque and cooked through.
- Pour the honey-garlic sauce over the shrimp. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes, letting the sauce bubble and reduce into a glossy glaze that coats the shrimp.
- Remove from heat and serve the glazed shrimp immediately over steamed rice or alongside your choice of vegetables.
Notes
Use coconut aminos for a gluten-free option, or swap honey for maple syrup. Make sure to pat shrimp dry before searing.
