Ingredients
  

Shrimp
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 60 ml honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 30 ml soy sauce
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch optional, for thickening

Method
 

  1. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in cornstarch.
  3. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer.
  4. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they start turning pink.
  5. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the shrimp. Toss to ensure all pieces are coated evenly.
  6. Lower the heat and let the shrimp simmer in the sauce for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
  8. Enjoy your dish immediately, while it’s still warm.

Notes

Serve with rice or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Consider replacing shrimp with chicken, tofu, or scallops for a delicious alternative.
