Honey garlic shrimp

It isn’t often that ordinary people buy shrimp from a store. It is generally expensive, especially when it comes already deveined. However, one two-pound bag can last a while and create some pretty fun dishes from all over the world.For this recipe, I used ground ginger and garlic powder, but using fresh ingredients will help the flavors pop.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined with tail on
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions:

  1. Combine the sauce ingredients and divide it into half
  2. Marinate the shrimp with one half of the sauce for 15-30 minutes. Discard marinade
  3. Over medium high heat in a 10-inch skillet, pan sear the shrimp in some oil. Sear them on both sides in batches of 2 until browned, about 1 minute per side
  4. Using tongs, rub the shrimp into the caramelized bits on the bottom of the pan
  5. Dish and serve hot, drizzled with the remaining sauce
