Ingredients

1 lb large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed frozen)
1 tbsp neutral oil (avocado, canola, or vegetable)
2 tbsp honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or Tamari for GF, Coconut Aminos for soy-free)
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp cornstarch (or arrowroot powder for GF)
1 tbsp cold water
1/2 tsp sesame oil (for garnish)
2 tbsp sliced green onions, for garnish
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

1. Prep Shrimp: Pat shrimp thoroughly dry with paper towels.
2. Whisk Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. In a separate tiny bowl, whisk cornstarch with 1 tbsp cold water to create a slurry.
3. Sear Shrimp: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear shrimp in two batches for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
4. Glaze & Toss: Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour honey-garlic sauce into the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer, then slowly whisk in cornstarch slurry. Cook, whisking, for 30-60 seconds until thickened and glossy.
5. Combine & Serve: Return seared shrimp to the pan and toss to coat evenly. Remove from heat. Drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
