Ingredients

• 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger (fresh, grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the bowl and mix well to coat all the shrimp evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour for a stronger flavor.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the shrimp from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later use, if desired) and add them to the hot skillet in a single layer.

Step 5

Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink, opaque, and slightly charred.

Step 6

If desired, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, allowing it to reduce slightly and coat the shrimp.

Step 7

Transfer the shrimp to a serving plate and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve warm as an appetizer, or pair with steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
