Time: 20min

Makes: 4 servings.

Ingredients:

  • 1-lb. peeled & de-veined shrimp (unfrozen)

  • 1/3 Cup Honey

  • 1/8 to 1/4 Cup Soy Sauce

  • 1 tsp minced fresh ginger* (*Fresh ginger is MUCH stronger than ginger powder!)

  • 1 TBSP minced garlic

  • Drizzle of Olive Oil

  • 1 package of Couscous or Rice

Step 1: Shrimp Prep!

Make sure tails removed on shrimp and de-veined (the outside tiny black line, tiny slit there if removed...it's just the food off ocean floor they've been eating, better to avoid).

Step 2: Get Saucy.

Mix the Honey, Soy Sauce, minced ginger & garlic. Split into 2 even portions.

Step 3: Marinate!

Pour half the sauce mixture over the shrimp and marinate in for 10-20min.

Step 4: Prepare the bed.

Prepare the Couscous or rice per package instructions.

Step 5: Shrimp Fire

Drizzle olive oil into a pan on Med-Hi heat. Once heated, place shrimp into pan (one layer), discarding rest of marinate (discard since raw shrimp). Tip: If pan too hot oil may react to marinate when first place. Cook for 2-3 min, then turn over. Shrimp turns more white/pink when cooked (short cooking time). Cook for another 2-3min after flipping. Then add other half of marinate, cooking for another 1-2min.
