New York Times Top 50 Recipes of 2025 | Honey Garlic Shrimp by @nytcooking @lideylikes

Ingredients:

– 1 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled & deveined
– ⅓ cup honey
– 3 Tbsp soy sauce
– 1 Tbsp garlic, minced
– ½ tsp grated ginger
– Red pepper flakes, to taste
– ¼ tsp cornstarch
– 1 Tbsp oil
– Scallions, to serve

Toss the shrimp with 3 tablespoons of a whisked mixture of honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and red pepper and marinate for at least 15 minutes. Stir the cornstarch into the remaining marinade and set aside, then pat the shrimp dry and discard the excess marinade. Heat a large skillet over medium-high with oil, cook the shrimp in a single layer until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side, then add the reserved marinade and cook until thickened. Transfer to a serving dish, top with scallions, and serve.

  1. White ppl interacting with some of the oldest sauces in the book like its a fresh and new thing. Like, seriously? What an amazing new recipe from lauren or w/e 😂

  2. This is based on a Vietnamese caramelized coconut shrimp recipe. The original is better. Shrimp Tôm Rim. Give it a try

  3. Made this the other night just throwing stuff together. Didnt know it was a real sauce lol also added gochujang miso paste for more kick. Put it with panko fried chicken and fried wontons on rice 👌

  4. You just know it’s gonna taste boring & underwhelming. Unless your asian leave eating Asian food for takeaway time

  5. I make this sauce with Gochujang instead of red pepper flakes! Goes hard on any protein with sticky rice and veg

  6. Are there any weeks you don’t hit the 12+ ride bonus? I figured with the daily office commute it would be easy
