Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Garlic Shrimp
  1. In a medium bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Whisk the mixture until well blended, creating a luscious marinade. Add the shrimp, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the sauce. Let the shrimp marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up until it shimmers, which should take about 2 minutes.
  3. Carefully add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sauté the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn a vibrant pink and are opaque.
  4. Once the shrimp are cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the dish with finely chopped green onions and serve immediately over rice or noodles.
