Notes
- Cook the shrimp only about 70% of the way before adding the sauce so they finish in the glaze and stay tender.
- No cornstarch needed. The honey reduces into a sticky glaze on its own as the liquid cooks off.
- Keep the shrimp moving so the honey doesn't scorch on the bottom of the pan.
- Swap the honey for brown sugar or maple syrup, or stir in a little sriracha for heat.
