Sticky Honey Garlic Butter Shrimp are coated in the most amazing sticky honey garlic butter soy sauce. This is a quick 20 minute meal that you will make again and again!
It is freezing right now here in Utah. We are getting such low temperatures and all we want to do is stay inside and be bundled up! I hate when Christmas is over and we take all of the decorations down. We are just left with the cold. Sickness has been going around our house as well. We are all counting down the days until our Hawaii trip next month!
Since the New Year has started I made a goal to make dinner at home more. The holidays were crazy and it is so nice to settle down a bit. I love cooking at home and eating together at night is just so much better.
We started our week off with this amazing Honey Garlic Butter Shrimp. I am not even the biggest fan of shrimp… the hubby is… and this is one of the best meals that I have ever had!!
MY OTHER RECIPES
Honey, garlic, soy sauce, and butter. Seriously my favorite flavors in one. I use them in so many recipes because it is just so dang good!! It is easy to make and the flavor is incredible. It coats the shrimp perfectly and creates such a flavorful and sticky sauce!
But my favorite part is that this meal was ready in under 3o minutes. You can have amazing meals for your family at night that require little effort but are restaurant quality. You are going to love the sticky sauce on this shrimp and this will be a meal that you want to make again and again!
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- juice of one small lemon
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- green onions, for garnish
- In a small bowl whisk honey, soy sauce, garlic and lemon. Add half of the sauce to the shrimp and let marinate for 30 minutes.
- In a medium sized skillet add the butter. Add the shrimp and discard marinade. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to medium high. Cook until the shrimp turns pink about 2 minutes each side. Add the reserved marinade and pour over shrimp. Cook until the sauce starts to thicken and coats the shrimp. Garnish with green onions.

I tried it recipe but I add more spycy because I like spicy
Try this
This is SOOOOOOO good! My husband loves it! I even made it with chicken and it too was very good. Thanks for the recipe.
This is one outstanding dish . I did add sesame seeds and a little red pepper flakes for spice. Looking forward to baked chicken wings in this same sauce.
I made this recipe tonight and the guys loved it! They even made suggestions about using this sauce on other meats or vegetables. That never happens! Will definitely make this again.
Absolutely delicious honey garlic shrimp. Easy to fix.
Quick and delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
This looks and sounds like a yummy dish! I would love to try making this sometime.
Made this tonight w/lyour lemon garlic tilapia dish my kids which are the hardest to please loved it. Knew I would but WOW not this much. I didn’t feel like going to the store & wanted to try something new&luckily already had every ingredient in my cabinet.
Thesticky hi ey garlic butter sauce is very good and I like the addition of the green onions. Next time I would remove the shrimp after they turn pink and cook the sauce down til it thickens, then add shrimp back in to coat. My shrimp were overcooked following the original directions.

Crazy good! I added asparagus saluted for 2 minutes in butter before adding shrimp and a tbs. Sambal since I like spice. Just terrific!
Andrea!!
So glad that you like the recipe. Great idea for the addition. Thanks for following along with me and for the comment! xoxo
Reallyeasy to make! Can’t wait to hear what my family thinks when they taste it.😊
TODAY I TRY RECIPE SO I ADD SPYCY
Just want to point out that in step one you say to discard the marinade, but in step two one reintroduces it to the pan. Those who rush and don’t read through a recipe (not me, will be trying this tonight), may be upset when they realize they need the marinade they just discarded. Would change to “set aside” or “reserve” for clarity. Looks like a great recipe otherwise, very much looking forward to giving it a whirl! Going to be adding some Chile paste and a touch of housing while reducing the honey and maybe subbing some molasses (we buy expensive honey and I’m too cheap to use a half cup’s worth).
I wanted the receipt for the coconut cake, but I missed it, the one with the coconut milk & cream cheese frosting. Can I please get it.
Here are my recipes on my site with coconut cake recipes: https://therecipecritic.com/?s=coconut+cake. Hope that helps! XOXO
