Honey-Garlic Shrimp
Honey-Garlic Shrimp is a sweet and savory dish that balances flavors while packing a strong garlic punch.
Equipment
- nonstick skillet
- bowl
- spatula
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 1 pound large raw shrimp (16-20 count), peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 2 tablespoons mild-flavored honey
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon Asian fish sauce or to taste
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup thinly sliced green onion or to taste
Instructions
- Make sure shrimp are fully thawed and well drained. Keep in the refrigerator while you make the marinade.
- Whisk garlic, honey, ginger, soy sauce, and fish sauce together in a bowl.
- Add shrimp and toss thoroughly with a spatula for 2 minutes until completely coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes; toss occasionally while marinating.
- Brush a large nonstick skillet with oil and heat over high heat until you begin to see small wisps of smoke. Use tongs to immediately transfer shrimp into the hot skillet in a single layer. Set excess marinade aside.
- Sear shrimp for 2 minutes, then flip over. Dump in marinade and cook for 1 minute. Turn off heat and flip shrimp once more; let sit for about 1 minute. The marinade in the pan will reduce down to a beautiful glaze just from the residual heat in the pan. Garnish with green onion.
Notes
Marinate shrimp for no longer than 1 hour to avoid changing its texture due to the salt in soy sauce. Thin the glaze with water, stock, or broth if desired.
