Description
Honey Garlic Shrimp is a quick, flavorful dish made with juicy shrimp tossed in a sweet and savory sauce of coconut aminos, garlic, honey, and ginger.
Ingredients
1 lb Large shrimp (preferably with tails on; or other shrimp sizes work fine)
1/3 cup Coconut aminos (or low sodium soy sauce)
2 tbsp Honey (I use natural sugar-free honey)
1 tbsp Olive oil
3 cloves Garlic (minced)
1/2 tbsp Fresh ginger (grated)
1/4 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup Green onions (optional, for garnish; sliced)
Instructions
1. Place the shrimp in a large bowl and pat dry with paper towels.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos or soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and red pepper flakes.
3. Pour half of the marinade over the shrimp and mix to coat. Reserve the other half for later.
4. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Add the shrimp in a single layer, discarding any extra marinade from the shrimp bowl.
7. Cook for about 1 minute.
8. Flip the shrimp over and immediately pour the reserved marinade over the shrimp.
9. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the shrimp is cooked through.
10. Stir to coat the shrimp in sauce more.
11. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired and serve.
Notes
Store: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3–4 days.
Reheat: Warm the shrimp in a skillet for a couple of minutes.
Freeze: Not as good as fresh, but it will last up to 3 months in the freezer.
