Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Sauce
- 1 lb. fresh or frozen raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (thawed if frozen)
- ½ cup coconut aminos
- ⅓ cup honey
- 6 garlic cloves, minced (2 tablespoons)
- Juice of ½ lemon (1½ tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water (for cornstarch slurry)
Vegetables and Seasoning
- ¾ lb. (12 oz) fresh green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced on the bias (green parts only)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Pinch of sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for cooking.
- Make Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, honey, minced garlic, and lemon juice until the honey is fully dissolved into the mixture.
- Marinate Shrimp: Pour half of the sauce over the shrimp in a bowl and toss well. Optionally marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes up to 24 hours for deeper flavor. Pour the remaining sauce into a small saucepan and set aside.
- Prepare Green Beans: Toss the green beans with toasted sesame oil, coarse salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes to get tender-crisp beans.
- Add Shrimp to Sheet Pan: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, push the green beans to one side, and arrange the marinated shrimp on the other side using a slotted spoon or spatula. Discard any leftover marinade liquid. Return the baking sheet to the oven.
- Bake Shrimp: Bake the shrimp and green beans together for an additional 8-10 minutes, adjusting time based on shrimp size (smaller shrimp cook faster) until shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
- Thicken Sauce: While shrimp bakes, bring the reserved sauce in the saucepan to a simmer over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water to make a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce and continue stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Toss Together: Transfer cooked shrimp and green beans to a large bowl, pour the thickened honey garlic sauce over them, and toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
- Serve: Garnish with sliced green onions, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately, ideally with steamed rice.
