Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1.5 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 stalks green onions (for garnish, chopped)
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes if using. Set the sauce aside.
Pat the shrimp dry using paper towels, then season them lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side until they turn pink and start to curl.
Flip the shrimp and pour the prepared honey mustard soy sauce over the shrimp in the skillet.
Cook the shrimp for an additional 2-3 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp evenly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the shrimp with chopped green onions.
Serve immediately with rice, noodles, or a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
