Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or other neutral oil
- 1 pound raw shrimp peeled, deveined, rinsed and patted dry
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced or microplaned
- Sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and garlic until combined.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and arrange in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 2 minutes.
- Flip the shrimp and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the shrimp is pink and opaque.
- Transfer the cooked shrimp to a bowl and set aside. Wipe the pan out and return to the stove on medium heat.
- Add the sauce to the pan. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has reduced by half and becomes thick and syrupy.
- Add the shrimp back to the pan and toss to coat. Garnish the shrimp with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely and drain well before cooking.
- Adjust the spice level. Start with less sriracha for milder flavor or add more for extra heat.
- Serve over rice, noodles, or vegetables to create a complete dinner.
