Description
Make a delicious, high-protein dinner in just 20 minutes with this honey garlic shrimp. The sauce is rich with garlic, honey, and ginger, and clings perfectly to juicy shrimp cooked in one pan.
Ingredients
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails optional)
1/3 cup coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey (or sugar-free alternative)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup green onions, sliced (optional)
Instructions
1. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and place in a mixing bowl.
2. In another bowl, mix coconut aminos, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, sea salt, and crushed red pepper.
3. Pour half of the sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer, discarding any excess marinade.
5. Sear shrimp for 1 minute without stirring.
6. Flip the shrimp, then pour in the reserved sauce.
7. Let cook for 2–3 minutes until shrimp are pink and sauce thickens.
8. Remove from heat and garnish with green onions if desired.
Notes
Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
Opt for sugar-free honey if following a low-carb lifestyle.
Add vegetables like snow peas or broccoli to turn it into a full meal.
Don’t overcook shrimp. They’re done as soon as they turn pink and firm.
