Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger, minced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 pieces Green onions, thinly sliced
- 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice (for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and lightly season with salt and pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
When the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink and slightly golden, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Remove the shrimp and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the prepared sauce. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for 1-2 minutes to slightly thicken.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the shrimp is heated through and well-coated.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the shrimp with thinly sliced green onions.
Serve the gingered shrimp over cooked white or brown rice for a complete meal. Enjoy immediately.
