honey garlic shrimp“Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it.” – Forrest Gump

MARINATION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS

Honey Garlic Shrimp! I have to be honest… I used to hate honey! (Thanks mom for traumatizing me as a child!) Now I am starting to love and appreciate it! This honey garlic shrimp recipe is easy and delicious! It literally takes 3 minutes to cook but you need more time so that you can marinate the shrimp. I marinated the shrimp for about 20 minutes but honestly I wish I had done it longer!

NUTRITION

This honey garlic shrimp recipe is low cal, low fat and high protein! It packs 38g protein, 3g fat, 40g carbs (this can be modified by eating less quinoa), and only 300 calories!

PRO TIPS

Prepare the shrimp in advance by throwing them in the marinade the morning before you want to eat. While the shrimp is marinating/cooking make the broccoli and quinoa! The shrimp only takes a couple minutes to cook so be sure to have everything else prepared! Do not overcook the shrimp. It will get hard and rubbery. (pro tip – no one likes hard, rubbery shrimp!). After you are done cooking the shrimp put them in a tupperware and add the remaining marinade. Make sure to pour some of that goodness over your bowl! If you run out, just make more!

WHERE TO BUY

I buy most of the items in this recipe at Trader Joe’s! I get my olive oil, broccoli, honey, soy sauce, green onions and quinoa there. The shrimp I buy at the local market however you could get it at Costco!

GLUTEN-FREE

This recipe is easily made gluten-free by using Tamari or Gluten-free Soy Sauce (click here to view). Everything else in this recipe is Gluten-free so that is all you have to alter!
