1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon grated ginger (optional for extra flavor)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (for brightness)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooked rice, for serving
Green vegetable or cucumber salad, for serving (optional)
Marinate the Shrimp:
In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and grated ginger (if using).
Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to marinate.
Cook the Shrimp:
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
If the shrimp cook through too early, remove from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add the marinade and bring to a simmer.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Combine:
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
Cook for another minute to allow the shrimp to absorb the sauce.
Finish:
Squeeze in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve:
Serve the shrimp over steamed rice and with a green vegetable or cucumber salad on the side for a complete meal.
Spicy Version: Add red pepper flakes or drizzle sriracha for a spicy kick.
Vegetarian Option: Swap shrimp with tofu or chicken breast for a different protein.
Extra Veggies: Add sautéed bell peppers or snap peas for a colorful, hearty dish.
