High-Protein Honey Garlic Shrimp

A flavorful and easy dish featuring succulent shrimp coated in a sweet and garlicky honey glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Steamed rice or vegetables for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep your shrimp: If using frozen shrimp, make sure they’ve been thawed. Rinse them under cold water, pat dry with a paper towel, and set aside.
  2. Make the honey garlic sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce until well combined.
  3. Heat your pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the shrimp: Add the shrimp in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp and cook for another 1-2 minutes until opaque.
  5. Add the sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp. Toss to coat.
  6. Season to perfection: Taste the shrimp and add salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Final touch: Once the sauce is shiny and shrimp are well-coated, remove from heat.

Notes

Serve with steamed rice and garnish with fresh herbs. Experiment with flavors by adding spices or citrus.
