This tasty Honey Garlic Shrimp will be ready in just 15 minutes!

It only takes a few ingredients to make and it’s low in points.

The Ingredients

Shrimp: I bought shrimp that was peeled and deveined with the tails off.

Frozen shrimp works just fine, just make sure it is completely thawed before cooking it.

Honey: This helps to add sweetness and flavor to the shrimp. I only used 2 tablespoons since it’s high in points.

All of the points in this recipe come from the honey.

Garlic: I used fresh minced garlic. It’s so much better than the stuff in a jar.

Don’t be intimidated by using fresh garlic. I use this garlic press and I love it, you don’t even need to peel the garlic.

Soy Sauce: I like to use reduced sodium soy sauce.

Ginger: I used ground ginger because that is what I had on hand. If you have fresh ginger I would use 1 teaspoon instead of the 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger.

Crushed Red Pepper: This is optional. If you don’t like the heat you can leave it out.

How to Make Honey Garlic Shrimp

Add the thawed shrimp to a medium mixing bowl.

Next, add the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Stir it all together making sure to coat the shrimp in honey.

Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp in an even layer and cook for 2 minutes on each side.

The shrimp is done cooking once it is opaque and pink in color. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or it will become tough.

Serving Suggestions

Since the shrimp is low in points I like to serve it with rice. For 1/2 cup of brown rice it added 3 points making it a 6 point meal.

You can add a side of steamed broccoli for 0 points.

If you have leftover shrimp you can keep it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
