Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup tamari soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro or parsley

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Add the shrimp to another bowl and pour 1/3 of the sauce over them. Toss to coat, then marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, discarding any leftover marinade, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until pink and just cooked through.
  4. Pour the remaining 2/3 sauce into the pan and simmer, stirring with the shrimp as the sauce slightly reduces and warms for about a minute.
  5. Turn off the heat, mix in cilantro or parsley, and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

These shrimp are perfect served over rice or noodles.
