Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tbsp Orange zest
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Scallions, sliced
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine orange juice, orange zest, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Whisk well to create the marinade and sauce.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes on each side until they are pink and just cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
Pour the prepared orange and ginger sauce into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the shrimp is heated through.
Transfer the shrimp and sauce to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced scallions for a fresh pop of flavor.
Serve immediately over steamed rice, quinoa, or a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
