Honey Ginger Shrimp

    We totally loved these shrimp! It's late summer in Florida and fall is right around the corner! (I can't wait!!) It was just nice enough last week that we actually sat outside Tuesday evening and enjoyed dinner and the sunset. I've been on a ginger kick. I've been enjoying ginger chews by The Ginger People everyday, they are amazing. I steeped some fresh ginger with some lemon and fresh basil and I made homemade ginger tea! It's good for your digestion! The grated ginger in this shrimp recipe adds to the spicy sweet taste that I was going for, it was so yummy! I paired it with some easy coconut rice and sautéed Brussel sprouts!


Honey Ginger Shrimp
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of large raw deveined shrimp
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/3 cup of honey
- 1/4 cup of reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of garlic
- 2 teaspoons of fresh grated ginger
- salt and pepper to taste
    Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Marinate the raw shrimp in the honey mixture for 30 minutes (or up to 5 hours). In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, place the shrimp into the skillet, salt and pepper them, and spoon a couple tablespoons of the marinade on top of them. Cook for 2 minutes or until golden. Flip the shrimp and cook on the other side until golden. Serve immediately and enjoy.
