Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Honey Shrimp.
Step 1
Start by ensuring your shrimp are completely thawed and well-drained.
Step 2
While you prepare the marinade, keep them chilled in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, honey, grated ginger, soy sauce, and fish sauce.
Step 4
Whisk these ingredients together until they form a harmonious blend that will infuse your shrimp with flavor.
Step 5
Next, add the shrimp to the marinade and gently toss them with a spatula for about two minutes, making sure every piece is thoroughly coated.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes, giving them a little toss every now and then to ensure even flavor distribution.
Step 7
When youβre ready to cook, brush a large nonstick skillet with vegetable oil and heat it over high heat until you see small wisps of smoke rising.
Step 8
Using tongs, carefully place the marinated shrimp in the skillet in a single layer, setting aside any leftover marinade for later.
Step 9
Sear the shrimp for about two minutes, then flip them over to cook the other side.
Step 10
Pour in the reserved marinade and let everything cook together for an additional minute.
Step 11
Once done, turn off the heat and flip the shrimp one last time, allowing them to rest in the skillet for about a minute.
Step 12
This will let the residual heat work its magic, transforming the marinade into a glossy glaze that clings beautifully to the shrimp.
Step 13
To finish, sprinkle thinly sliced green onions over the shrimp for a pop of color and flavor before serving.
Step 14
Enjoy your deliciously marinated shrimp, perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself to a delightful meal!.
