Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Use low-sodium for a healthier option.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking shrimp.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Steamed rice or vegetables for serving Serve over jasmine or brown rice.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
  2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Cooking
  1. Add shrimp to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  2. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce is heated through.
Serving

Notes

Pat shrimp dry before cooking for a better sear. Do not overcrowd the pan. Adjust the sauce by adding rice vinegar or lemon juice for more acidity. For a thicker glaze, simmer the sauce separately before adding to shrimp.
