Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1.5 tbsp Sriracha sauce
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced for garnish)
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, Sriracha sauce, and lime juice to form the marinade.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the bowl with the marinade, tossing to coat. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 10 minutes while you prep other ingredients.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Using tongs, transfer the shrimp into the hot skillet, shaking off excess marinade into the bowl (do not discard the marinade). Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink and slightly charred, then flip and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the shrimp. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp.
Remove from heat and transfer the shrimp to a serving plate.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot with rice, noodles, or a fresh salad.
