Ingredients
Scale
1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
1/4 cup pure honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Fresh lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat shrimp dry.
- Whisk honey, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, pepper, and cornstarch slurry (if using) to make the glaze.
- Toss shrimp with most of the glaze and marinate for 10 mins.
- Arrange shrimp on a greased/lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until pink and opaque.

- For a thicker sauce, use the cornstarch. For a gluten-free version, use tamari.
- Dry shrimp thoroughly before marinating for best results.
