Servings 3 people
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 lb shrimp cleaned, deveined, patted dry
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp honey Local Hive Cali Citrus Blossom
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup cilantro minced
- 1/4 lime
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp chili flakes
Instructions
- Salt the shrimp with 1/2 tsp of salt.
- In a pan on medium heat add the oil. Once heated add the shrimp and cook for 2 min on each side. 2-3 minutes for larger shrimp. Remove the shrimp from the pan and place on the side for later.
- Lower the heat to low and add the chili flakes and garlic. Sauté until soft, fragrant, but not brown for 2-3 minutes. If it begins to brown lower the heat further.
- In a bowl combine soy sauce, water and honey. Mix until honey incorporates into the sauce. No worries if not all of it mixes in once it heats in the pan it will combine.
- Add the sauce to the garlic in the pan and reduce down, mixing every few seconds. * Note: the soy will aggressively bubble, just continue mixing. Cook for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens.
- Add shrimp, a splash of lime juice, and cilantro. Mix to coat the shrimp and finish cooking them if needed 1-2 minutes. Enjoy!
