Ingredients

Scale

1 lb large raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails on or off)
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
2 tbsp high smoke point oil (avocado, grapeseed, or vegetable)
Optional: Red pepper flakes for spice, sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare Shrimp: Thoroughly pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
2. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch until smooth.
3. Sear Shrimp: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the shrimp in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
4. Glaze Shrimp: Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour sauce into the pan and simmer, stirring, until thickened (about 30-60 seconds). Return shrimp to the pan and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
