Honey-Garlic Shrimp image

While it may sound like a plain, generic item you see on a menu at the food court at the mall, honey-garlic shrimp is actually one of the most exciting and delicious garlic shrimp recipes I know. It's the perfect balance of sweet and savory while still packing a substantial garlic punch, plus it's extremely fast and simple to make. This recipe uses half the honey that typical recipes use and allows the natural sweetness of the shrimp to shine through. Serve over hot cooked rice or the starchy base of your choice such as noodles.

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound large raw shrimp (16-20 count), peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or more to taste
1 teaspoon Asian fish sauce, or to taste
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 cup thinly sliced green onion, or to taste

Steps:

  • Make sure shrimp are fully thawed and well drained. Keep in the refrigerator while you make the marinade.
  • Whisk garlic, honey, ginger, soy sauce, and fish sauce together in a bowl.
  • Add shrimp and toss thoroughly with a spatula for 2 minutes until completely coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes; toss occasionally while marinating.
  • Brush a large nonstick skillet with oil and heat over high heat until you begin to see small wisps of smoke. Use tongs to immediately transfer shrimp into the hot skillet in a single layer. Set excess marinade aside.
  • Sear shrimp for 2 minutes, then flip over. Dump in marinade and cook for 1 minute. Turn off heat and flip shrimp once more; let sit for about 1 minute. The marinade in the pan will reduce down to a beautiful glaze just from the residual heat in the pan. Garnish with green onion.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • In a large ziploc bag, combine all the marinade ingredients. When everything is well-combined, add the shrimp, squeeze as much air as possible out of the bag, and close it up. Place it in the fridge.
  • Let the shrimp marinate for 30-60 minutes, flipping the bag around once or twice during that time, so that all the shrimp stay evenly covered in the marinade.
  • When you're ready to cook, take the shrimp out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; there is no need to add any oil or butter to the pan, as the marinade has enough oil in it to keep the shrimp from sticking to the pan. (If you would prefer to use the grill for these, you can thread them onto skewers and toss them on the grill at this point.).
  • Add your shrimp to the pan in a single layer, making sure they are not too crowded; you can always cook them in more than one batch.
  • Let them cook on one side for about a minute, until they curl up and start to turn pink.
  • Flip them over, and cook for another 30 seconds or so, until the shrimp are opaque.
  • Remove from the pan, and serve immediately!

  • Wine Pairing
  • Description: Unoaked means that the wine has been fermented and/or aged in stainless steel tanks, allowing the pure fruit flavours of the grapes to come through. This unoaked Chardonnay has crisp fruit flavours of peach, apple, and pear. It is medium in body and has refreshing, tangy acidity.
  • Pairing: This dish has many flavours sweet honey, tangy lime, and a bit of spice from chili. The wine matches perfectly because it has enough body to stand up to all of these flavours and the texture of the shrimp. The fruity flavours complement the sweet honey and cool the heat of the chili, and the acidity balances the citrusy lime flavour.
  • Wine Suggestion: Try an Unoaked Chardonnay from Australia or Canada

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh lime juice and zest will give your marinade the best flavor.
  • Don't over-marinate your shrimp. Shrimp can become tough if they are marinated for too long. 30 minutes is usually sufficient.
  • If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the shrimp. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Shrimp are done cooking when they turn opaque and pink.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Honey lime shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to enjoy shrimp, and the marinade adds a delicious flavor that will please everyone.
