Honey Garlic Shrimp

A quick dinner dish from Sally's. 

Ingredients

Honey - 1/3 cup
Soy sauce - 1/4 cup
Jarred minced garlic - 1 TBSP, or 2 teaspoons fresh
Minced fresh ginger - 1 tsp, optional
Medium uncooked shrimp - 1 lb, peeled & deveined
Olive oil - 2 tsp
optional garnish: chopped green onion

Steps

1. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger (if using) together in a medium bowl.
2. Place shrimp in a large zipped-top bag. Pour 1/2 of the marinade mixture on top, stir and then allow shrimp to marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or for up to 8-12 hours. Cover and refrigerate the rest of the marinade for step 3. 
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place shrimp in the skillet. (Discard used marinade.) Cook shrimp on one side until pink– about 45 seconds– then flip shrimp over. Pour in remaining marinade and cook it all until shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute more.
4. Serve shrimp with cooked marinade sauce and a garnish of green onion. The sauce is excellent on brown rice and steamed veggies on the side.
