Honey Garlic Glazed Shrimp

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and foaming.

Step 2: Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3: Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes on each side until they just start to turn pink.

Step 4: Pour in the honey and soy sauce, stirring gently to coat all the shrimp evenly.

Step 5: Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently, until the glaze thickens and the shrimp are fully cooked and opaque.

Step 6: Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then transfer to a serving plate.

Step 7: Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired, then serve immediately.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover Honey Garlic Glazed Shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the shrimp and glaze together to maintain moisture and flavor.

To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can also microwave in a covered dish for 1-2 minutes, though the stovetop method gives better results.

This dish is also delicious served cold as a shrimp salad topping or mixed into a grain bowl the next day.
