# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
→ Sauce
03 -
⅓ cup honey
04 -
¼ cup tamari soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free option)
05 -
4 garlic cloves, minced
06 -
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
07 -
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
→ Garnish
08 -
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro or parsley
09 -
1 green onion, thinly sliced
# Instructions:
01 -
In a bowl, mix together honey, tamari soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
02 -
Place your peeled shrimp in a separate bowl and pour about a third of the sauce over them. Gently toss until coated and let them soak up those flavors for 15-20 minutes.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp (throw away any leftover marinade from this bowl) and cook for just 1-2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
04 -
Pour the remaining sauce into the pan with the cooked shrimp. Let it bubble and simmer for about a minute as it reduces slightly and coats the shrimp with that sweet-savory glaze.
05 -
Turn off the heat and sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley. Top with sliced green onions and serve immediately while hot and saucy.
# Notes:

This quick honey garlic shrimp comes together in just about 20 minutes for a perfect weeknight dinner.

For a gluten-free meal, make sure to use tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos instead of regular soy sauce.
