20 Minute Garlic Ginger Shrimp

By jakbdiva

This is an easy recipe and super delicious! Serve shrimp with cooked marinade sauce and a garnish of green onion. The sauce is excellent on brown rice and steamed veggies on the side.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
• 1 pound medium uncooked shrimp
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• OPTIONAL: chopped green onion for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk the soy sauce, garlic, and ginger together in a medium bowl.

Place shrimp in a large zipped-top bag or tupperware. Pour 1/2 of the marinade mixture on top, give it all a shake or stir, then allow shrimp to marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or for up to 8-12 hours. Cover and refrigerate the rest of the marinade

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place shrimp in the skillet. (Discard used marinade.) Cook shrimp on one side until pink– about 45 seconds– then flip shrimp over. Pour in remaining marinade and cook it all until shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute more.

Serve shrimp with cooked marinade sauce and a garnish of green onion. The sauce is excellent on brown rice and steamed veggies on the side.

If you want to thicken the sauce, take 1 cup of chicken stock and corn starch and add it to the shrimp after cooked. Will make a sauce.
