Shrimp With Honey-Garlic Sauce

Add a kick to this dish by stirring grated fresh ginger or diced jalapeño in the pan along with the garlic.

Serve over rice

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter

• 2 medium garlic cloves grated

• 1/4 cup honey

• 1 Tbsp. soy sauce

• 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

• 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

• 1 lb. large peeled, deveined raw shrimp, (tail-on if serving as finger food, I remove tail for serving over rice)

• Chopped fresh scallion

Preparation

Honey-garlic sauce

1. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add honey and soy sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is very foamy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and salt. Pour half of the honey mixture into a small bowl; reserve for serving. Transfer remaining honey mixture to a separate small bowl for glazing shrimp. Do not wipe skillet clean.

Shrimp

1. Add half of the shrimp to skillet and cook over medium-high just until shrimp are pink on both sides but still translucent in centers, about 1 minute per side. Transfer cooked shrimp to a plate. Repeat process with remaining shrimp.

2. Return shrimp to skillet, and add honey mixture reserved for glazing. Cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute.

3. Garnish and serve with reserved sauce over rice.
