Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together until well blended to create the marinade.
Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper, then add them to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated. Let the shrimp marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, use a slotted spoon to add the marinated shrimp to the skillet, reserving the remaining marinade for later.
Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the shrimp.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the shrimp with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately over steamed rice, noodles, or with a side of vegetables.
