Ingredients

450 g Raw Shrimp (size 21-25 or 26-30), Peeled and Deveined
2 teaspoons Vegetable Oil
1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
1 teaspoon Minced Ginger
60 ml Reduced-Sodium Soy Sauce
60 ml Honey
1 unit Green Onion, Chopped (optional)

Equipment

Large Nonstick Skillet
Whisk
Bowl for Mixing
Measuring Spoons and Cups
Tongs for Flipping

Method

If shrimp are frozen, thaw them under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and honey, tasting to adjust sweetness or saltiness.
Toss shrimp with half of the sauce in a resealable plastic bag or bowl and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
Heat skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Arrange shrimp in a single layer.
Pour the remaining sauce into the pan, let it simmer, and flip shrimp after 1-2 minutes until pink and opaque.

Notes

Use high-quality honey for the best flavor. Opt for large shrimp (size 21-25) for juiciness and to avoid overcooking. Don't rush the marinating process; even 10 minutes makes a difference. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to two days; reheat gently to preserve texture, and avoid microwaving. For a healthier twist, serve with zucchini noodles or quinoa instead of rice, and consider adding steamed vegetables for extra nutrition.
