A quick and flavorful shrimp dish featuring honey garlic sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (mixed with 1 tbsp water)

Instructions

  1. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. In a separate tiny bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Set both aside.
  2. Season the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the Olive Oil: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until they turn pink and are just opaque.
  5. Combine with Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and pour the honey garlic sauce over the cooked shrimp. Stir to coat the shrimp.
  6. Thicken the Sauce: Pour in the cornstarch slurry and continue to cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until thickened.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pair with jasmine rice or a crisp salad. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
