HONEY GARLIC SHRIMP SKILLET

HONEY GARLIC SHRIMP SKILLET

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a shrimp recipe. The last one I think was coconut shrimp which turned out amazingly good. Especially with that chilled pineapple sauce.

So here we have a super simple honey garlic shrimp recipe, all done in the comfort of your skillet. It’s yummy, it’s healthy and oh so easy to make.

I used jumbo peeled shrimp with tail on for these. They just tend to look better in pics. But you can use whatever kind of shrimp you like or can easily get your hands on.

We begin by making your honey garlic sauce which is basically just some honey, soy sauce, ginger and garlic. Tada! I wasn’t lying when I said simple.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined with tail on
• Sauce:
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon ginger, minced
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine the sauce ingredients and divide it into half
2. Marinate the shrimp with one half of the sauce for 15-30 minutes. Discard marinade
3. Over medium high heat in a 10" skillet, pan sear the shrimp in some oil. Sear them on both sides in two batches until browned, about 1 minute per side
4. Using tongs, rub the shrimp into the caramelized bits on the bottom of the pan
5. Dish and serve hot drizzled with the remaining sauce

NOTES

For even more flavor, try adding in some red pepper flakes for heat or fresh lime juice for zest!

Or if you like cilantro, lime and red pepper flakes, try out this variation of cilantro lime honey garlic shrimp skillet!

This recipe sears better in a cast iron pan and may not perform as well with caramelized bits in non-stick pans.
