Ingredients
  

Shrimp
  • 1 lb Large shrimp preferably with tails on; other sizes work fine
Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Coconut aminos or low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Honey natural sugar-free honey recommended
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/2 tbsp Fresh ginger grated
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
Garnish
  • 1/4 cup Green onions optional, sliced

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Small bowl
  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos or soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Pour half of the marinade over the shrimp, and mix to coat. Reserve the other half of the marinade for later. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer, discarding any extra marinade from the shrimp bowl. Cook for about 1 minute.
  5. Working quickly, flip the shrimp over and immediately pour the reserved marinade from step 3 over the shrimp. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce thickens, and the shrimp is cooked through. Stir to coat the shrimp in the sauce more.
  6. Garnish with sliced green onions if you want.

Notes

The serving size is 6 to 10 shrimp, or 1/4 of the entire recipe. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat the shrimp in a skillet for a couple of minutes. The shrimp will last up to 3 months in the freezer, though the texture is better fresh. The nutrition information does not include the optional green onions and uses a zero-sugar honey substitute.
