Ingredients

Shrimp

1 lb Large shrimp preferably with tails on; or other shrimp sizes work fine

Marinade

1/3 cup Coconut aminos or low sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp Honey natural sugar-free honey recommended
1 tbsp Olive oil
3 cloves Garlic minced
1/2 tbsp Fresh ginger grated
1/4 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes

Garnish

1/4 cup Green onions optional, for garnish; sliced

Equipment

Large Bowl
Paper towels
Small bowl
Whisk
Large skillet

Method

Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos or soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and red pepper flakes.
Pour half of the marinade over the shrimp, and mix to coat. Reserve the other half of the marinade for later. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer, discarding any extra marinade from the shrimp bowl. Cook for about 1 minute.
Working quickly, flip the shrimp over and immediately pour the reserved marinade over the shrimp. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens, and the shrimp is cooked through. Stir to coat the shrimp in sauce more.
Garnish with sliced green onions if you like.
