Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (ensure it’s Halal-friendly)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Ensure your shrimp is peeled and deveined.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger until smooth and aromatic.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Cooking
  1. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes on one side until they turn pink.
  2. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the shrimp and stir to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
  3. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir well.
Serving
  1. Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a low-sugar version, use maple syrup instead of honey. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as it can make them rubbery. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water.
