1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 cloves garlic (minced)
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps

Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side or until just pink and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Pour the sauce mixture into the same skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes or until thickened.
