Ingredients
- 3 g arlic cloves minced or grated (about 1 tablespoon)
- Zest and juice of 1 small lemon (about 3/4 teaspoon zest and 3 tablespoons juice)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
- Chopped green onions (lemon wedges, for serving)
Steps
-
In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup with a spout, whisk together the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, soy sauce, honey, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
-
Rinse the shrimp and pat dry. Place in a ziptop bag.
-
Pour the marinade over the shrimp, the seal the bag removing any excess air. Gently turn the shrimp to coat. Place the shrimp in a shallow dish to catch any drips and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
-
Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Shake off the excess marinade from the shrimp and discard the excess marinade.
-
Cook the shrimp as desired: Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side (see Grilled Shrimp for specific step by steps), cook them under the oven broiler on a foil-lined baking sheet placed about 6 inches from the top for 3 to 5 minutes (rotate the pan as needed so they cook evenly), or sauté them in a skillet. For all methods, cook just until the shrimp is pink and no longer opaque—shrimp cook fast! Transfer to a serving plate. Enjoy hot or at room temperature, with a sprinkle of green onions and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
