A delightful blend of sweet and spicy flavors, this Spicy Honey Garlic Shrimp is coated in a sticky honey garlic sauce that packs a punch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a bowl, mix honey, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and soy sauce until well combined.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add the shrimp, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the cooked shrimp and stir well to coat. Cook for another minute until the sauce thickens slightly.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- To make it spicier, add more red pepper flakes or a splash of sriracha.
- For a vegan version, substitute shrimp with tofu or chickpeas.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
