🍤Ingredients (Serves 4)
1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined (tails on or off)
⅓ cup honey
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
4–6 garlic cloves
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated (optional but amazing)
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 tsp sesame oil (for extra gloss)
Red pepper flakes or sriracha (optional heat)
Green onions & sesame seeds for garnish
Cooked rice or noodles to serve
🔥Step-by-Step: Glossy Honey Garlic Magic
1. Prep the Flavor Bomb
Lock the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater on your counter. Feed garlic cloves through the crushing blade—seconds later you have perfectly fine garlic ready to bloom in the pan. Whisk it with honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Set half the sauce aside for later.
2. Sear the Shrimp
Heat olive oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium-high. Pat shrimp dry, season lightly with salt, and sear 1–2 minutes per side until pink and barely cooked through. They’ll finish in the sauce—don’t overcook!
3. Glaze It Like You Mean It
Lower the heat, pour in the larger portion of sauce. Toss shrimp until they’re beautifully coated and the sauce thickens into a sticky shine. Add a splash of water if it gets too thick.
4. Final Shine & Serve
Off the heat, drizzle the reserved sauce and sesame oil for extra gloss. Scatter sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over steaming rice or noodles—the sauce will soak right in.
