Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Minced fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped green onions (for garnish)
  • to taste Salt and pepper

  • Medium bowl

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Mix well to create the marinade.
  2. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let the shrimp marinate for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet, reserving the marinade for later use.
  4. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque. Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for another 1-2 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the shrimp and mix gently to combine.
  7. Serve the honey garlic shrimp hot, garnished with chopped green onions, over rice or noodles if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, consider serving with a squeeze of lime or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes.
