Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they’re pink and cooked through.

Remove the shrimp from the skillet and place them on a plate. Reduce the heat to medium and add the honey and soy sauce to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss them in the honey sauce until they’re well coated. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Storage & Reheating

To store leftovers, let the honey garlic shrimp cool to room temperature and then refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat the shrimp in the skillet with a little bit of oil over medium heat until warmed through. You can also reheat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until heated through.
