Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup pure honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Thaw and rinse the shrimp under cold water if using frozen ones. Pat dry with paper towels to ensure proper caramelization.
- In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle olive oil to prevent sticking. Once hot, add the shrimp and sauté for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked shrimp in the skillet. Stir gently to coat each shrimp in the glaze, allowing it to bubble and thicken for about 1 minute.
- Transfer the shrimp onto plates or serve over rice or noodles. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over top for maximum flavor.
