Okay, I admit, when it comes to shrimp we often eat well over the recommended serving size. You need to indulge occasionally, right? This Honey Garlic Shrimp recipe is our favorite way to prepare this delicious and popular dish. And yes, I cook up 2 pounds of shrimp at a time. And no, that is not for eight people.

How to make Honey Garlic Shrimp

• Thaw, drain, and slightly dry shrimp if using frozen. You can spread them on paper towels to help dry.
• I usually use the jumbo size shrimp, 21/25 shrimp per pound.
• Marinate shrimp for at least 30 minutes, if not longer, before cooking.
• Use low-sodium soy sauce if you like a bit of extra sauce (like we do) with your shrimp.
• Topping with green onions enhances the flavors.
• Serve with rice.
• My recipe is for a large batch. You can easily cut the recipe in half.

Honey Garlic Shrimp

• 2/3 cup Honey
• 1/2 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
• 3 tablespoons Garlic, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
• 2 pounds Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• Green Onions, chopped

Mix together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.

Add about 1/4 to 1/3 of the marinade to the shrimp in a plastic bag and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Reserve the rest of the marinade.

Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add olive oil and the shrimp. Cook for about 1 minute or so until the shrimp turns pink. Turn shrimp and continue cooking for another minute or two.

Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside. Add the reserved marinade to the pan and cook until the sauce boils down slightly and starts to thicken.

Add the shrimp back to the sauce and continue to cook for 1 – 2 minutes until shrimp is done and sauce is a nice consistency.

Serve the Honey Garlic Shrimp with rice and topped with the green onion.
