Honey Glazed Shrimp and Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tbs minced fresh garlic

2 tbs mild-flavored honey ( or strong depending on your taste)

½ tsp freshly grated ginger

1 tbs soy sauce, or more to taste

1 tsp Asian fish sauce, or to taste

2 tsp vegetable oil.

1 cup thinly sliced green onion, or to taste

Directions

Step 1:

Make sure shrimp are fully thawed and well drained. Please keep in the refrigerator while you prepare other parts of the dish

Step 2

Whisk garlic, honey, ginger, soy sauce, and fish sauce together in a bowl. And set aside

Step 3:

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. Please toss occasionally while marinating.

Step 4:

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.

Step 5:

Sear shrimp for 2 minutes, then flip over. Pour in marinade and cook for 1 minute. Turn off heat and flip shrimp once more; let sit for about 1 minute. The marinate in the pan will reduce down to a beautiful glaze just from the residual heat in the pan. Garnish with green onion.

Personal note:

You can marinate the shrimp for longer than an hour, but you have to be careful because the salt in the soy sauce will eventually start to cure the shrimp and change its texture. Ideally, don't marinate longer than 1 hour. This is key information.
