Perfect for a nutritious weeknight dinner, it balances sweet and savory flavors, with a hint of garlic zest, making it an ultimate crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Shrimp

  • 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Sauce

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

For Cooking

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides to enhance flavor.
  2. Make the honey garlic sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and grated fresh ginger until well combined. This mixture will create the perfect balance of sweet and savory notes.
  3. Sauté shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
  4. Add the honey garlic sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp beautifully.
  5. Finish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish shrimp with chopped fresh parsley or green onions if desired. Serve immediately over cooked rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables for a wholesome meal.

Notes

  • For a low-sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce.
  • Adjust honey quantity according to your preferred sweetness.
  • Use fresh shrimp for best flavor; frozen shrimp should be fully thawed and dried before cooking.
  • To add spice, sprinkle some red pepper flakes while cooking.
