  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
Cooking Oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Steamed rice or vegetables for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  3. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the shrimp and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Ensure the skillet is hot enough to sear the shrimp for a nice texture. Do not overcrowd the skillet to avoid steaming the shrimp; cook in batches if necessary. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey depending on your taste preference.
