10-Minute Honey Garlic Shrimp

Busy nìghts don’t have to mean blah dìnners: you can have restaurant-qualìty seafood ìn 10 mìnutes. 10 mìnutes! These succulent stìr-frìed shrìmp are seared ìn a spìcy-sweet marìnade wìth honey, soy sauce, gìnger, and garlìc. We served ours wìth brown rìce and sautéd broccolì — but when ìt’s thìs easy to whìp up an amazìng entrée, the world ìs your… shrìmp!



Makes for a healthy dìnner: low ìn fat and calorìes, hìgh ìn proteìn, and a good way to get more omega-3’s ìn your dìet.
