Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Do not marinate for longer than 1 hour, as the lemon juice may start to cook the shrimp.
If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the shrimp onto skewers for easy handling. If pan-searing, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook to ensure tender shrimp.
Remove the shrimp from the heat and transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with rice, pasta, or salad for a complete meal.
