Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium works well too!)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or steamed vegetables for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high warmth. Add the shrimp, seasoning them with salt and pepper.
- Pour the honey garlic mixture over the shrimp, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque, tossing occasionally.

Notes
Feel free to substitute the shrimp with chicken or tofu for a different protein option. Fresh garlic delivers significantly better flavor than pre-minced.
