Equipment
- Nonstick Skillet
- Small Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb medium to large shrimp peeled, deveined, tail-on optional, patted dry
- 1/3 cup honey preferably clover or wildflower
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic freshly minced
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lemon juice for brightness
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rice vinegar or lemon juice.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until pink and slightly seared.
- Pour the sauce over the shrimp and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately, spooning extra sauce over the shrimp.
Notes
Make sure the shrimp are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking to get a good sear. Use freshly minced garlic for best flavor. Adjust sweetness or saltiness by tweaking the honey and soy sauce ratio.
