If you’re out of soy sauce, tamari makes a great gluten-free substitute. And for those who prefer a little heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful kick!
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp and let it simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet, stir well, and cook until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp beautifully.
