Honey-Garlic Shrimp

Ingredients

• 1 pound large raw shrimp , 16-20 count
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
• 2 tablespoons mild-flavored honey
• 0.5 teaspoons 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

Instructions

1. 1

   Make sure shrimp are fully thawed and well drained. Keep in the refrigerator while you make the marinade.

2. 2

   Whisk garlic, honey, ginger, soy sauce, and fish sauce together in a bowl.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   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.
