Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or regular soy sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ pound thawed uncooked large shrimp (peeled, deveined and tails removed)
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil (or olive oil, or sesame oil)
  • Optional for garnish - chopped green onion, toasted sesame seeds, or chives

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the honey, soy sauce, 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 it 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 is cooked through, about 1 minute more.
  • Serve the shrimp topped with the cooked marinade sauce and garnish with green onion or chives if desired. Tastes great served over rice and broccoli.

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.
  • Store leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
