Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup tamari soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro or parsley
  • 1 green onion (thinly sliced)

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes.
  2. Place the shrimp into a separate bowl and pour 1/3 of the sauce on top. Toss to coat the shrimp, then marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Heat the oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add the shrimp (discarding any leftover marinade) and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until pink and just barely cooked through.
  4. Pour the remaining 2/3 sauce into the pan and bring to a simmer, stirring with the shrimp as it slightly reduces and warms through, for about a minute.
  5. Turn off the heat, stir in the cilantro or parsley, and top with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

Adjust the red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
