Friends, I am FINALLY getting round to sharing this
Easy One Pan Honey Garlic Shrimp recipe with you! It’s a recipe I’ve been
making for years and it’s one we rely on for a great brief meal on a busy
weeknight. And what’s even higher than the truth that it’s brief and clean?
It’s loopy scrumptious AND it’s a nice wholesome low-fats alternative to Asian
take-out! What can be better!!?
This Easy One Pan Honey Garlic Shrimp recipe is made with one of the simplest honey garlic sauces ever – it’s a quite simple mixture of candy honey, sour rice vinegar, salty soy sauce, and savoury garlic and sesame oil that’s just the PERFECT combination! It also can be used in chicken stir fries or even basic vegetable stir fries.
Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespooons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 - 3 1/2 cups fresh or frozen shrimp, thawed completely and rinsed (use shrimp with shells and tails on, or shrimp with the shells and tails removed)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, water and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
- Add the shrimp to the pan and toss in the olive oil, allowing the shrimp to cook on each side for 3 minutes, or until all sides of the shrimp are pink. Shrimp without tails and shells will cook more quickly than shrimp with the tails and shells on.
- Add the honey garlic sauce sauce mixture and toss the shrimp in the sauce until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
- Serve the shrimp over rice with a side of steamed veggies and a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
