Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Whisk until well combined. Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to infuse the flavors.

    Heat the Pan: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the shrimp from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use. Drizzle a little olive oil to prevent sticking if needed.

      Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and slightly charred. Flip the shrimp over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring they are opaque throughout.

        Add the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade over the shrimp in the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and becomes sticky.

          Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the sweet and sticky honey garlic shrimp over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an added touch.
