Honey Garlic Shrimp

Preparation-Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger (if using) together in a medium bowl

Place shrimp in a large zipped-top bag or tupperware

Pour 1/2 of the marinade mixture on top, give it all a shake or stir, 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

Cooking-While the shrimp is marinating, I steamed broccoli and microwaved some quick brown rice

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

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
