A quick and delicious honey garlic shrimp dish that is high in protein and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or vegetables for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce until smooth.
  2. Heat the pan. Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil until shimmering.
  3. Season and sear the shrimp. Pat shrimp dry, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Add shrimp to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on the first side.
  4. Add the sauce. Flip the shrimp, pour the honey-garlic mixture over them, and gently toss to coat. Continue cooking until the shrimp are opaque, pink, and just firm—about another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total. Avoid overcooking.
  5. Finish and serve. Remove from heat and transfer the shrimp to bowls over steamed rice or your choice of vegetables. Spoon any pan sauce over the shrimp.

Notes

For gluten-free, swap soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. For less sweetness, reduce honey and add a splash of rice vinegar.
