Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 2 cups cooked white rice
Optional Toppings
- Sliced cucumbers
- Avocado
- Soft-boiled or fried egg
- Green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Lime wedges
- Sriracha mayo
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Pour about ⅓ of the sauce over the shrimp and let it marinate for 5 minutes. Discard the marinade after marinating.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until pink and lightly caramelized.
- Pour in the remaining sauce and let it simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened and coating the shrimp.
- Spoon the shrimp over warm rice and add your favorite toppings. Finish with green onions, sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime if desired.
Notes
- Pat the shrimp dry before cooking so they sear better in the pan.
- Cook the shrimp in a single layer to help them cook evenly and get better color.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
