Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and rice vinegar. In a separate very small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
  2. Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Step 4: Pour the honey-soy sauce mixture into the skillet. Bring it to a gentle simmer, then whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
  5. Step 5: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss gently to coat them completely with the honey garlic sauce. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Store any delicious leftovers promptly in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, perfect for a quick meal later.
  • To keep your shrimp wonderfully tender, gently reheat them in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water or broth, or microwave briefly until just warmed through, avoiding overcooking.
  • For a satisfying meal, serve this honey garlic shrimp over fluffy jasmine rice or quinoa, complemented by a side of steamed broccoli or a fresh green salad.
  • Chef's Tip: Patting your shrimp thoroughly dry with paper towels before cooking is key to achieving a great sear and preventing the sauce from becoming watery.
