Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk thoroughly until all the ingredients are well blended into a smooth marinade.

    Marinate the Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the mixing bowl and gently toss them in the marinade until they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the shrimp into a resealable bag. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour for an enhanced flavor profile.

      Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering but not smoking, carefully add the marinated shrimp, making sure to set aside the marinade. Sauté for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked.

        Glaze the Shrimp: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the cooked shrimp. Stir the shrimp gently to ensure they are beautifully coated in the sauce. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and clings to the shrimp, creating a luscious glaze.

          Finish and Serve: Taste and season the shrimp with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to suit your preference. Transfer the beautifully glazed shrimp to a serving platter. As a finishing touch, sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top for a pop of color and flavor.

            Enjoy: Delight in your Spicy Sriracha Honey Glazed Shrimp served over fluffy rice, hearty quinoa, or a vibrant bed of mixed greens for a complete and satisfying meal.
