This Honey Garlic Shrimp is marinated in sweet sauce, then cooked together in a pan. Serve it with broccoli and rice for a quick and easy dinner! Serve it with steamed broccoli and rice.
Mix marinade/sauce ingredients in a measuring cup of a bowl.
½ cup honey, ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 3 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Place shrimp in a ziploc bag or a bowl, add marinade and stir in to coat the shrimp. Close the bag or cover the bowl and marinate for 30 minutes, in the fridge.
Heat up olive oil in pan.
1 tablespoon olive oil
Remove shrimp from bag with cooking tongs and cook in pan for 2 minutes on each side or until pink. Remove onto a plate.
Once done, add remaining marinate to pan and bring to simmer. If you want to make it thicker, mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of water and add to sauce. Simmer until thick.
Serve sauce over shrimp or toss shrimp back to the pan and stir in.
Notes
I used jumbo size but medium works perfectly too.
You can use fresh or jarred ginger.
I recommend low-sodium soy sauce to control the sodium in the recipe.
