Description
A quick and flavorful high-protein shrimp dish coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze, perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.
Ingredients
1 pound (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cup (80 ml) honey
1/4 cup (60 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon (5 g) freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
1 teaspoon (3 g) cornstarch
2 tablespoons (30 ml) water
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons (10 g) chopped fresh parsley or green onions
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and ginger. Add shrimp and marinate for 15–20 minutes.
Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove shrimp from marinade and cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
Pour reserved marinade into the skillet and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened.
Return shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in sauce. Cook for 1 more minute. Garnish and serve.
Notes
Do not overcook shrimp to prevent a rubbery texture. Adjust honey for desired sweetness. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
