MONDAY MORNING RECIPE - 20-MINUTE HONEY GARLIC SHRIMP - SERVES 4

Hello My Friends, I wanted to let you know that I have one more post tomorrow, and then I will be going on a blog break while getting ready for family who are arriving in a few days.  Lots to do between now and then. While they are here we will be busy and devoting all our time to them.  I will be back in May sometime. 

A delicious meal found at Sally's Baking, original recipe is here. It is ready from prep to table in approximatey 20 minutes, as the title would suggest. One of our favorite shrimp dishes we have made so far, a 10 out of 10 (at least to suit our tastes).

20 Minute Honey Garlic Shrimp – serves 4

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce (we usually use reduced sodium)

2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic)

optional: 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1 lb. medium uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined (we used frozen and thawed that had already been peeled and deveined, and couldn't tell the difference)

2 teaspoons olive oil

optional for garnish: chopped green onion

Whisk together in a medium bowl, the honey, soy sauce, garlic and (if using), the ginger. You will use half for the marinade and half for cooking the shrimp.

Place shrimp in a large sealable container or zipped-top bag. Pour 1/2 of the marinade/sauce 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 other half of the marinade that will be used in the cooking process.

(Time-saving tip suggested in the recipe: while the shrimp is marinating, steam broccoli and microwave 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/sauce and cook until the shrimp is completely done, about 1-2 more minutes.

Serve shrimp with cooked marinade sauce and a garnish of green onion. The sauce is excellent on brown rice and steamed vegetables on the side.

Sallie's notes and please take a look at her website if you would like to see more: 

Shrimp: If using frozen cooked shrimp, thaw, marinate, and cook as directed above. You’ll really just be heating the shrimp up in the sauce.

A lovely dish that we are looking forward to making again, and didn't make any changes, except to use frozen shrimp which was already mentioned in the recipe.

Thanks for looking, 

enjoy your week and Bon Appétit!
