Ingredients⅓ cup honey
¼ cup tamari soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro or parsley
1 green onion, thinly sliced
Method
* In a small bowl, stir together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes.
* Place the shrimp into a separate bowl and pour 1/3 of the sauce on top. Toss to coat the shrimp, then marinate for 15-20 minutes.
* Heat the oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add the shrimp (discarding any leftover marinade) and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until pink and just barely cooked through.
* Pour the remaining 2/3 sauce into the pan and bring to a simmer, stirring with the shrimp as it slightly reduces and warms through, for about a minute.
* Turn off the heat, stir in the cilantro or parsley, and top with sliced green onions before serving.
