Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/3 cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a large bowl, combine shrimp with salt, pepper, and the grated ginger. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the sauce.

    Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside.

      Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

        Add the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the cooked shrimp, and stir to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Serve the honey garlic shrimp over cooked rice or quinoa to soak up that delicious sauce.
