Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large raw shrimp (16-20 count), peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Asian fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup thinly sliced green onion, or to taste

  6. Add shrimp and toss thoroughly with a spatula for 2 minutes until completely coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes; toss occasionally while marinating.
  7. Step 4
  8. Brush a large nonstick skillet with oil and heat over high heat until you begin to see small wisps of smoke. Use tongs to immediately transfer shrimp into the hot skillet in a single layer. Set excess marinade aside.
  9. Step 5
  10. Sear shrimp for 2 minutes, then flip over. Dump in the marinade and cook for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and flip the shrimp once more; let sit for about 1 minute. The marinade in the pan will reduce down to a beautiful glaze just from the residual heat in the pan. Garnish with green onion.
