Ingredients
Marinade
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Shrimp
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
- Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and olive oil until well combined.
- Marinate Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them sit for 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium heat in preparation for cooking the shrimp.
- Thread Shrimp (if grilling): If using skewers, thread the marinated shrimp onto them to make grilling easier and prevent shrimp from falling through the grates.
- Cook Shrimp: Grill or cook the shrimp in the skillet for 3 minutes per side or until the shrimp turn opaque and are cooked through.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove shrimp from the heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving for a fresh, aromatic finish.
Notes
- Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level or omit for milder taste.
- For gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- If not grilling, cooking the shrimp in a skillet is a quick and effective alternative.
- Serve with rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
