Ingredients

These amounts are for 2 servings. If you want different servings amounts scroll down to the recipe card that is below this posting. There you can change the number of servings and it will change all of the amounts of all the ingredients. Also you can switch the applicable amounts to metric.

• 1/2 pound raw shrimp peeled and deveined
• olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 small pinch of salt
• 1 pinch sesame seeds – optional
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice – optional
• 1 clove garlic minced or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder – Optional
• 1 small pinch cayenne pepper – optional
• 1 pinch dried parsley flakes for garnish – optional

And here is how to easily whip up your Shrimp with honey soy sauce

Put the honey, soy sauce and salt in a bowl.

After you get the honey, soy sauce and salt in the bowl you might be tempted to go a little further. Today I went a little crazy and added some lemon juice, sesame seeds, minced garlic and a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper. You don’t have to do any of the extras. If you want to keep it just the honey, soy sauce and salt it will still become a favorite.

Put the shrimp in a separate bowl and drizzle just enough of the sauce to coat them. Toss the shrimp in the sauce a little bit.

Put a skillet on at medium high and eyeball enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Let it get hot before you add the shrimp. Then spread the shrimp out in the pan so that they are all laying on their sides, not piled on top of each other. Cook for just one minute to a minute and a half a side and then add the remaining sauce.

Stir the shrimp in the hot sauce then remove them to the plates and drizzle the sauce on  them. There you have your Honey Soy Sauce Shrimp. Garnish with a little bit of dried parsley and/or grated parmesan, if you want.

It all happens so fast that we almost always just go for “baked” potatoes in the microwave and some basic salad. Or another veggie choice is something microwave friendly like frozen broccoli or peas sharing space in the microwave with the potatoes. 

ENJOY!!
