Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Marinade:
- 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)
Veggies and Seasoning:
- ¾ lb. (12 oz) fresh green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Thickening and Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 green onions, sliced on the bias (green parts only)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Pinch of sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat the oven to 400℉ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, honey, minced garlic, and lemon juice until the honey dissolves completely, creating a smooth marinade and sauce base.
- Marinate the Shrimp: Pour half of the sauce over the shrimp in a bowl and toss to coat evenly. For enhanced flavor, you can marinate the shrimp in the fridge for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
- Prepare and Roast Green Beans: Toss green beans with toasted sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 12 minutes to achieve a tender-crisp texture.
- Add Shrimp to the Baking Sheet: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the green beans to one side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the marinated shrimp to the other side, discarding any remaining marinade liquid in the bowl to avoid sogginess.
- Roast Shrimp and Green Beans Together: Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, adjusting time based on shrimp size; smaller shrimp will cook faster.
- Make the Sauce Glaze: Meanwhile, heat the reserved sauce in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it simmers. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water to form a slurry and slowly whisk it into the simmering sauce. Stir occasionally and continue heating for 2-3 minutes, until thickened to a glaze consistency.
- Toss and Serve: Transfer the cooked shrimp and green beans to a large bowl. Pour the thickened honey garlic glaze over them and toss well to coat evenly. Garnish with sliced green onions, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately with rice for a complete meal.
