Ingredients
- ¼ cup honey
- 4 Tablespoons butter (melted or room temperature)
- 1 Tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons jarred minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 pound raw large shrimp (thawed, peeled, deveined, and tails removed)
- 1 teaspoon canola oil (or olive oil, or sesame oil)
- Optional for garnish - chopped green onion, toasted sesame seeds, parsley, or chives
Instructions
- Whisk the honey, butter, Old Bay seasoning, garlic, and ginger in a medium bowl.
- Place the raw shrimp in a zip-top bag or a bowl with a lid. Pour 1/2 of the marinade mixture on top, and stir to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or for up to 8-12 hours.
- Cover and refrigerate the remaining marinade. It is used when cooking the shrimp.
- Preheat the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the shrimp, then place them in the large skillet.
- Cook the shrimp on one side until pink, about 1 minute, and then turn them over.
- Pour in the reserved marinade over the pan-seared shrimp and cook until the shrimp are cooked through, about 1-2 minutes more.
- Serve the shrimp topped with the cooked marinade sauce and garnish with green onion, toasted sesame seeds, parsley, or chives if desired.
Notes
- I use frozen packaged shrimp labeled “peeled, deveined, and tails removed” for even easier meal prep, but you can also use fresh.
- If using jumbo shrimp, cooking time will increase a little.
- This shrimp tastes great served over rice and broccoli.
- Store leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
