    Cup of Yum
  1. Add sauce ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
  2. Add shrimp to a large bowl. Pat dry. Toss with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  3. Heat butter or oil on medium heat. Once hot add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until shrimp is opaque and cooked. Remove shrimp from heat.
  4. Reduce heat to medium low and add the sauce in the same skillet. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens.

Notes

  • Storing: Store leftover honey garlic shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Just thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
  • Reheating: Warm the shrimp in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water or soy sauce to loosen the sauce. Avoid microwaving for too long, as shrimp can become rubbery.
