Ingredients

Marinade

⅓ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce preferably reduced sodium
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced (optional)

Main Ingredients

1 lb medium uncooked shrimp peeled & deveined
2 teaspoons olive oil
chopped green onion for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Steps

Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger together in a medium bowl. You will use half for the marinade and half for cooking the shrimp.
Place shrimp in a large sealable container or zipped-top bag. Pour ½ of the marinade over top, give it a shake or stir, then marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place shrimp in the skillet (discard used marinade). Cook shrimp until pink, about 45 seconds per side.
Pour in remaining marinade and cook until shrimp is cooked through, about 1-2 more minutes.
Serve shrimp with cooked marinade sauce and garnish with green onion.

Notes

Some readers add 1 teaspoon cornstarch to thicken the sauce before cooking. Use fresh shrimp but thaw frozen shrimp before marinating.
