Shrimp has to be one of my favorite foods to cook with because it takes in the flavor of whatever it is cooked with and yet continues to hold its own flavor. This recipe has a large amount of flavor with honey, garlic, and the shrimp. You can mix it with broccoli and serve with rice/rice noodles or you can serve it as is with other vegetables. Plus it tastes great the next day.
Stir together the last five ingredients until well blended.
Then add the shrimp to this mixture and stir. Allow the shrimp to sit in the sauce for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
In a skillet or wok, cook the shrimp for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
