Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 lbs large shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 5 tbsp raw honey
- 5 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 3/4 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Whisk together the raw honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, sea salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- Rinse the shrimp in cold water and pat dry using paper towels.
- Pour half of the sauce over the shrimp and toss to combine, ensuring each shrimp is well coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp in batches of 3 or 4 to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Place the shrimp in the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on the first side until they start to turn pink.
- Flip the shrimp to the second side, turn off the heat, and let them cook for another 1-2 minutes until they are just cooked through and have formed a C shape.
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and repeat with the remaining shrimp, adding more sauce as needed.
- Drizzle the remaining sauce over the cooked shrimp before serving.
Notes
Cook the shrimp in small batches to prevent overcooking and ensure even cooking. If the shrimp curl into an O shape, they are overcooked. Turning off the heat after flipping the shrimp helps to prevent overcooking. Serve with a simple tomato and parsley salad, on quinoa, or as an appetizer.
