Ingredients
- 2 lb thawed or fresh raw shrimp (cleaned/peeled/deveined)
- 2 TBSP butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- chopped green onion to taste
HONEY GARLIC SAUCE
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (approx 1.5-2 TBSP)
- ¼ cup raw honey
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 TBSP Sweet chili sauce
- 1 TBSP lemon juice
- ½ tsp ginger paste (or minced fresh ginger)
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Clean and peel shrimp, defrosting if needed. Lately we've been buying frozen, deveined, easy-peel shrimp. All I have to do is defrost, peel, and cook! You can also buy your shrimp already peeled if you'd like! Season shrimp with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Whisk together sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- Heat a large pan or skillet to medium-high and melt your butter. Oil can be used if preferred.
- Cook shrimp on each side for about 1-2 minutes until shrimp start to curl but are still a bit under-done. Add your sauce and cook for an additional minute or until the shrimp are cooked through. This will vary a bit based on the size you choose, so look for curled, opaque shrimp and you're good to go!
- For an extra thick sauce, remove and plate your shrimp, allowing the sauce some extra simmer time. Keep an eye on it as it reduces, stirring if needed. Remove from heat once thickened and pour over shrimp.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onion. For extra fiery shrimp you can even add additional crushed red pepper flakes. Enjoy!

Notes
- Gluten-Free friends, simply choose GF Tamari or your favorite wheat-free soy sauce - there are lots on the market to choose from.
