How to Make High-Protein Honey Garlic Shrimp
- Rinse your large shrimp under cold water and pat them dry gently.
- In a medium bowl, mix together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil. If you like your sauce thickened, sprinkle in some cornstarch and stir until smooth and glossy.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the shrimp in a single layer to avoid steaming, cooking for about 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper and cook until they turn pink.
- Pour your sweet garlic sauce over the shrimp, gently tossing to coat evenly.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm.
