Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup honey

• 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce

• 1 Tablespoon jarred minced garlic or 2 teaspoons fresh*

• optional: 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

• 1 lb medium uncooked shrimp, peeled & deveined

• 2 teaspoons olive oil

• optional: chopped green onion for garnish

Directions

• Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger (if using) together in a medium bowl.

• Place shrimp in a large zipped-top bag or tupperware. Pour 1/2 of the marinade mixture on top, give it all a shake or stir, then allow shrimp to marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or for up to 8-12 hours.

• Cover and refrigerate the rest of the marinade for step 3. (Time-saving tip: while the shrimp is marinating, I steamed broccoli and microwaved some quick brown rice.)

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place shrimp in the skillet. (Discard used marinade.)

• Cook shrimp on one side until pink– about 45 seconds– then flip shrimp over. Pour in remaining marinade and cook it all until shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute more.

• Serve shrimp with cooked marinade sauce and a garnish of green onion. The sauce is excellent on brown rice and steamed veggies on the side.
