published Mar 16, 2022, updated Apr 26, 2024 My honey garlic shrimp recipe puts all of my favorite flavors in Chinese cooking on display — a touch of spice, some tip-of-your-tongue sweetness paired with just the right amount of salt, and a savory sauce that ties it all together. You won’t find an easier honey garlic shrimp recipe out there. After marinating the shrimp, it all goes into the pan to make a sweet and sticky soy sauce glaze. It caramelizes beautifully on the honey garlic shrimp, seeps into the rice, and coats the stir-fried veggies on your plate. And it’s so quick! Aside from the 20 minutes spent marinating, it takes only 10 minutes to prepare. Looking for more recipes like this? You’ll love my Chinese sticky chicken! It takes a little longer to make, but it’s really filling and has a tingling, mouthwatering spice to it that I know you’ll love.
Recommended Tools
Skillet – When you need to quickly sear any protein, whether that be seafood or chicken or something else entirely, you need to use a good-quality skillet that holds heat. Cast iron or stainless steel are your best options.
Storing and Reheating
Leftover honey garlic shrimp can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 4 days. It’s best not to take chances with seafood — if it’s not eaten by the fourth day, discard it. To avoid overcooking leftovers, slowly bring them back to temperature on the stovetop, sauce and all. You can also briefly microwave in short, 15-second intervals until warmed through.
