Equipment

  • pan
  • bowl
  • spoon

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup tamari soy sauce (or coconut aminos) gluten-free option
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro or parsley
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, stir together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes.
  • Place the shrimp into a separate bowl and pour ⅓ of the sauce on top. Toss to coat the shrimp, then marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add the shrimp (discarding any leftover marinade) and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until pink and just barely cooked through.
  • Pour the remaining ⅔ sauce into the pan and bring to a simmer, stirring with the shrimp as it slightly reduces and warms through, for about a minute.
  • Turn off the heat, stir in the cilantro or parsley, and top with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

This is the gluten-free tamari soy sauce I use and love. I also buy the low-sodium version.
