Every once in a while, this cattle raising family breaks away from the beef for a change of pace. Can one really expect us to eat beef All The Time? haha. (Although, I do believe my daughter could be a strict beef eater, she loves it!)
This Honey Garlic Shrimp is a tasty flavor combo that you can easily whip up any night of the week. Serve it over some brown rice and enjoy a simple and healthy meal. The sauce is what makes this dish stand out…the honey, garlic and soy combo is delish! I have even been known to serve the sauce over some stir fry veggies and rice. Hey, when you find something you like, you might as well enjoy it! 😉
Making this with fresh shrimp is the best, but most times I used frozen shrimp as I do not have great access to fresh shrimp. Either way, fresh or frozen, this dish is still one to make. Be sure to give it a try!
- ⅔ cup Honey
- ½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbs minced Garlic
