A flavorful and protein-packed shrimp dish glazed in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

2. In a bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in cornstarch.

3. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer.

4. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they start turning pink.

5. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the shrimp. Toss to ensure all pieces are coated evenly.

6. Lower the heat and let the shrimp simmer in the sauce for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

7. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

8. Enjoy your dish immediately, while it’s still warm.

Notes

Replace shrimp with chicken, tofu, or scallops for a delicious alternative.

Serve over rice or steamed vegetables to make a full meal.

For a spicier version, add a dash of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
