I also just love it as an appetizer along side of some honey mustard or sriracha crema. It works well as a main dish, over salad or coconut cauliflower rice. I felt this Easy Baked Cashew and Coconut Shrimp would be perfect.

The notes of this drink are intense and needed a sweet/savory food pairing that was not too heavy. Because we are about to hit the weekend before Halloween, I decided to embrace one of my favorite tiki cocktails, The Zombie. These flavors are just absolutely delicious together, wouldn’t you agree? I created this recipe for this week’s food pairing for the Bon Appeteach “Book Club” (the only book club where we don’t actually read the books we just make cocktails named after them). Over-cooking the shrimp can make the shrimp tough, and unappetizing.Cashews, coconut, and shrimp. Once the shrimp is cooked on each side, transfer to a plate and keep aside. Once one side is done, it will turn pink, and that’s how you know the shrimp needs to the flipped.


I have used frozen shrimp for this recipe. Chili paste such as Gochujang would be a great substitute as well.įinish with lime juice - To make those flavors really stand out, add a squeeze of lime juice to finish. You could also replace sriracha with any hot sauce of your choice. You could also use ginger garlic paste if you have a jar at hand.Īdd your favorite Hot Sauce/ Chili Sauce -To make this sticky honey garlic sauce extra special, I like to add sriracha to give it a good hit of spice. The base of the sauce is made by sauteeing minced garlic (I like to use 4-5 cloves) and freshly minced ginger root. Ginger + Garlic - As with so many authentic Asian recipes, you will need a good amount of fresh ginger and garlic to make the sauce for these honey garlic shrimp. I like to make extra sauce to spoon over the noodles or rice (I highly recommend making extra sauce!). You can also serve this dish with some jasmine rice or brown rice, along with a side of sauteed mushroom or broccoli. To serve your honey garlic shrimp, plate up cooked egg noodles or rice noodles and spoon the shrimp and sauce over the noodles. To round it all off, I love to add a squeeze of lime – the splash of lime juice really does make all these flavors sing! Serve over a bed of basil fried rice or plain jasmine rice or even cauliflower rice for a keto-friendly meal. What makes this sauce so good? It’s got loads of flavor from the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sriracha, and honey. I love everything about the flavors and considering that shrimp is my first love, this has got to be one of my top 5 favorite Asian-inspired recipes of all time, along with my other favorites - Sweet and Sour Cauliflower, Asian Noodle Bowls, Thai Noodle Soup, etc. This is one of my favorite meals to put together for our family. What’s better than honey garlic shrimp? Honey garlic shrimp in a spicy sticky sriracha sauce (try saying that quickly!). (This recipe was first published in June 2020 and has been updated) Jump to:
