Honey Garlic Shrimp
This honey garlic shrimp packs in tons of delicious flavors with the 5 ingredient marinade that cooks down to a sticky-sweet honey-soy sauce with a punch of garlic and lemon tang.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- ⅓ c low sodium soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp honey or agave syrup
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 16 oz medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, minced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, oil, lemon juice and garlic. Add thawed shrimp to a medium bowl and cover with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Lightly mist a frying pan with cooking spray. Spoon the shrimp into the frying pan, leaving behind the majority of the marinade. Cook on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, per side, or until pink and tender. Transfer the shrimp from the pan to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Cover the bowl with foil.
- Pour the marinade into the hot pan. Increase the heat to medium high and bring the marinade to a low boil. Cook the sauce for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it is reduced to a few tablespoons of liquid (it will be a little thicker). Add the shrimp back to the pan to warm for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and serve. Garnish with parsley if desired.
