Ingredients
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the honey garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
