There’s nothing better at the end of a long day than knowing that you can have a home-cooked dinner on the table in a matter of minutes with very little effort. It allows you to breathe easy and spend the evening relaxing.
Enter this honey-glazed shrimp recipe, which completely fits the bill! The flavor is comforting, crave-able, and better than takeout!
Unlike some of the recipes I’ve found on Pinterest that borrow from this same flavor profile, but are way too sweet, this one offers a nice balance with the heat. It’s great that it can also be customized to fit the tastes of whoever is eating it.
I couldn’t believe how quickly it came together, and it can be paired with so many things. I served it up with cauliflower rice and some sauteed snow peas. It was quite satisfying, and I’ll be doing it again the next time I’m in a rush but want to resist the pull toward fast food!
Don’t skip the sesame seeds and scallions, They make it not only beautiful but provide great texture. Buy your shrimp ready to go–peeled, deveined, and tails removed–this saves so much time! Also, in my opinion, using freshly grated ginger just provides more spice and flavor than powdered ginger.
This stores well and reheats nicely for a lunch the next day if you had leftovers as we did. I was worried about the shrimp being way too overcooked, but I reheated the leftovers in a skillet over a gentle heat, and it was fine.
