For days when I’m in a rush and need fast, healthy meals that taste great, I make this 20 Minute Honey Ginger Glazed Shrimp. This juicy, crispy shrimp is covered in a savory-sweet glaze that has just the right amount of heat and warmth from the freshly grated ginger. It’s quick, balanced, and endlessly versatile. Serve over steamed rice, tossed into noodles, or layered it on a fresh salad for a satisfying, protein-packed meal.
