Easy Shrimp Recipe
When you have little time, love shrimp, and still want a super delicious, quick, and easy recipe then this is your recipe. What is great about shrimp is it literally takes a couple of minutes to cook.
Take out your well-seasoned skillet because today we are making easy honey garlic shrimp. A skillet will give you great flavors because you get those lovely burned bits.
This recipe needs a lot of garlic and onion because every recipe needs an onion. It is done in no time and when you taste this sweet, slightly sticky, and garlicky shrimp recipe you want it every time.
You can use either fresh or frozen shrimp in this recipe. If you want to use frozen shrimp just thaw them before cooking. If you put them in cold (running) water the shrimp will be ready to cook in minutes.
Do not put them in the microwave to thaw. This will affect the shrimp and that is absolutely unnecessary.
Once defrosted it is important to properly clean the shrimp. Get all of the veins out, wash them and pad them dry before putting them in the pan.
Shrimp always reminds me of Asia. It is one of those ingredients that go together great with basic ingredients like onions, garlic, and ginger giving shrimp an oriental flavor.
