Ingredients
1 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup soy sauce (or low-sodium)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil
2 cups cooked white rice
Optional: steamed broccoli or sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic until the honey is fully dissolved.
Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and mostly opaque.
Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the shrimp.
Simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly as the sauce reduces and coats the shrimp in a thick, shiny glaze.
Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
Serve the glazed shrimp immediately over bowls of fluffy white rice, topped with your choice of vegetables or green onions.
Notes
Ensure you pat the shrimp completely dry before searing to get a better char. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch to the sauce mixture before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
