15 Minute Sticky Honey Garlic Shrimp: A Fast & Healthy Dinner

December 27, 2017 by Mirlandra 6 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Sticky honey garlic shrimp is a fast and healthy dinner full of flavor with just the right amount of stickiness. This Asian take on shrimp is always a hit! Serve it over rice or individually as a party food if you like.  Either way, be prepared for it to disappear quickly!

A large white serving bowl is full of shrimp in a golden honey garlic sauce. You can just see some rice under the shrimp and a sprinkling of green onion on top.

Cooking Sticky Honey Garlic Shrimp

Love shrimp?  So do we!  This 15 minute sticky honey garlic shrimp was popular at our house from the first day I made it.  The dish is fast and simple.  The flavor is excellent.  In the end you get a meal that is better than restaurant quality for a fraction of the price and very little effort.

I put some rice in my rice cooker to steam while I make this and if I’m feeling really energetic I cook up some broccoli or make a salad too.  The only problem with this recipe?  It is intended to serve four but Jonathan can eat the entire pound of shrimp by himself…

Have a great week.  Thanks for stopping by to cook with me!

Tools In This Post:  Having a good quality rice maker is a worthwhile investment if you like to make rice on the fly for simple dinners like this. I recommend investing in one with fuzzy logic technology for more precise cooking.  We have had this one more than five years and still love it.

This Baked Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze is fancy enough for a party but simple enough for a weeknight dinner. Start to finish it takes less than 30 minutes and the seasonings are amazing! Check out my salmon buying tips to pick the perfect fish!

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. fresh ginger minced
  • 1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp. white pepper optional
  • ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 pound raw shrimp size medium (see note)
  • 1 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 1 tsp. corn starch
  • 2 green onions sliced thinly on the diagonal

Instructions

  • Serving Suggestion: For a fast dinner toss some rice in the rice maker before you start the shrimp and steam up some broccoli or heat up some frozen broccoli. Alternately these shrimp go great over stir fried veggies or even just by themselves! Party food anybody?
  • In a small bowl, whisk everything together except the shrimp, corn starch and onions.
  • Place the shrimp in a bowl and pour about half the sauce over it, stirring to coat.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the hot oil. Cook about 1 minute, stirring at least once.
  • Whisk corn starch into the rest of the marinade and add to the pan. Cook about one more minute until shrimp are cooked through. Tip: Shrimp turn a nice light pink right through to the middle when they are cooked. Cut open the thickest part of a shrimp if you want to double check.
  • Sprinkle green onions over the shrimp and serve hot over rice or on a plate. (Rice is a great delivery system for the delicious sauce on the shrimp.)

Notes

Choosing Shrimp: You can buy shrimp fresh or frozen but do make sure it is raw shrimp – not something already cooked. You can buy any size you like but medium works well for this and if you buy smaller or bigger shrimp you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Select peeled or unpeeled, tail on or off as you prefer. Just remember if you have to peel the shrimp that will take more time!

    My 5 year old son and I loved it. I added extra sauce to accommodate a larger amount of shrimp. It is just the right mix of sweet and spicy. Also, mild enough for a kid’s palate. Will make this dish again.
