Description

This Honey Garlic Shrimp recipe is a quick and flavorful dish combining succulent shrimp marinated in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce with a hint of ginger and red pepper flakes. Perfect for a weeknight dinner, it boasts a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and umami flavors, cooked swiftly on the stovetop for tender, juicy shrimp with a glossy, reduced sauce garnished with fresh herbs and green onions.

Ingredients

Sauce

  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup tamari soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Main

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro or parsley
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the honey, tamari soy sauce, minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.
  2. Marinate the Shrimp: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a separate bowl and pour one-third of the prepared sauce over them. Toss to coat thoroughly, then set aside to marinate for 15-20 minutes to infuse the shrimp with flavor.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp, discarding any leftover marinade in the bowl, and cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
  4. Simmer the Sauce: Pour the remaining two-thirds of the sauce into the pan with the shrimp. Bring it to a simmer, stirring gently as the sauce slightly reduces and coats the shrimp, warming through for about one minute.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Turn off the heat, stir in the finely chopped cilantro or parsley, and sprinkle the thinly sliced green onions on top before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture; cook until just pink and opaque.
  • Marinating the shrimp enhances the flavor but can be skipped for a quicker preparation.
  • Use tamari for gluten-free option or substitute with coconut aminos.
  • Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to control heat level.
  • Serve with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
