Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the honey sesame sauce.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a brush or spoon, drizzle about half of the honey sesame sauce evenly over the shrimp, making sure each piece is coated.
Place the shrimp under the broiler and cook for 4 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip the shrimp, and brush with the remaining honey sesame sauce. Return to the broiler and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and slightly caramelized at the edges.
Once done, sprinkle the shrimp with sesame seeds and garnish with thinly sliced green onions for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, noodles, or a side of sautéed vegetables.
