Make this quick and flavorful honey garlic shrimp for a healthy dinner when you need a fast, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes, if using.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Bring it to a gentle simmer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the shrimp completely in the honey garlic sauce. Cook for 1 minute more until the shrimp are heated through.
  7. Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use large shrimp so they cook quickly and evenly in the skillet.
  • Serve this easy seafood recipe over rice or with steamed vegetables for a complete healthy dinner.
