Ingredients

  • 1 lb. raw shrimp, thawed, peeled and tails removed
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 2 tbsp butter, salted
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, or avocado oil
  • 1 lb. asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 to 3 inch pieces
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • ½ medium onion, sliced
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place the cleaned shrimp in a bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the honey, soy sauce, garlic and ginger in a small bowl and pour half over the shrimp (reserve the other half for later), stir the shrimp to coat, cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile heat a large skillet (I prefer cast iron) over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tbsp olive oil. Once hot add in the asparagus, bell pepper and onion and sauté until crisp-tender and slightly charred (about 4 minutes). Remove from skillet to a plate to keep warm.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and then add the shrimp (discard any used marinade). Cook shrimp about 1 minute per side, or until caramelized and cooked through. Quickly add the veggies and reserved sauce to the skillet and heat through.
  • Serve over hot cooked rice if desired. Enjoy!

Notes
Feel free to substitute the shrimp with chicken or steak. Just make sure to cook until safe to eat.
To thicken sauce- once you've added the reserved sauce to the skillet, combine 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tsp cold water and then pour into the skillet. Stir and the sauce should thicken quickly.
