⅓ cup honey Provides sweetness and sticky texture
¼ cup tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos for soy-free (Adds depth and saltiness)
4 garlic cloves minced (Adds aromatic, savory flavor)
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger Adds zest and warmth
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Provides a hint of heat
1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking shrimp
1 pound raw shrimp peeled and deveined (Shrimp should be ready to cook)
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro or parsley For garnish and fresh flavor
1 green onion thinly sliced (For garnish and added freshness)

1 Small bowl For mixing the sauce ingredients together
1 Pan A large skillet or frying pan works best for cooking the shrimp evenly
1 Knife and cutting board For mincing garlic, grating ginger, and slicing green onions

In a small bowl, combine the honey, tamari soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Place the shrimp in a separate bowl and pour about ⅓ of the sauce over them. Toss to coat and let them marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp (discarding any leftover marinade) and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink and just cooked through.
Pour the remaining sauce into the pan with the shrimp and bring it to a simmer, stirring occasionally for about one minute.
Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro or parsley. Top with sliced green onions before serving.

These shrimp come together so easily in just 20 minutes, with a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors that everyone loves.
