Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, vegetable oil, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp along with the marinade to the skillet.
Step 4
Cook the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving plate.
Step 6
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot. Squeeze lime wedges over the shrimp before eating, optional.
