Ideal for serving over rice, pasta, or with steamed vegetables, this dish is both versatile and satisfying.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If your shrimp aren't already prepped, start by peeling and deveining them. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, chili sauce, and minced garlic. Mix well to ensure the honey is fully dissolved and the ingredients are well blended.
- Place the shrimp in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the shrimp, making sure they are all well-coated. Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15-20 minutes. If you have more time, marinating for up to an hour in the refrigerator can enhance the flavor even more.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
- Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and are fully opaque. Shrimp cooks quickly, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
- Pour any remaining marinade into the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds to a minute, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coats the shrimp well.
- Remove the shrimp from the heat and serve immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own, over rice, noodles, or even in a salad.
Tips:
- Ensure the shrimps are deveined and peeled before cooking for the best texture and flavor.
- For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and chili sauce mixture for about 15-20 minutes before cooking.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the honey from burning and sticking to the pan.
- Cook the shrimp on medium-high heat to get a nice sear while ensuring they remain juicy inside.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a small cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water) to the pan.
- Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and a nice presentation.
