Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Orange Shrimp
  1. Ensure the shrimp are fully defrosted, rinse under cold water, and pat dry. Season lightly with sea salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove and keep warm.
  3. In a bowl, combine the orange juice, honey, coconut aminos, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture into the pan. Heat gently while stirring for 2-3 minutes. Mix arrowroot powder with water in a small bowl until smooth, then add to the sauce and stir until thickened.
  5. Return the shrimp to the pan with the sauce and gently toss to coat, heating for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve over jasmine rice, topped with edamame, cucumber, cilantro, and green onion.
  7. Enjoy your homemade honey orange shrimp dish while warm.
