Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Sauce
- 1 lb. Luke’s Lobster peeled, deveined and tail off raw shrimp (thawed if frozen)
- ½ cup coconut aminos
- ⅓ cup honey
- 6 garlic cloves, minced (2 tablespoons)
- Juice of ½ lemon (1½ tablespoons)
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
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 Oven: Preheat the oven to 400℉ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, combine coconut aminos, honey, minced garlic, and lemon juice; whisk until the honey dissolves.
- Marinate Shrimp: Pour half of the sauce over shrimp in a bowl and toss to coat. Marinate in the fridge if desired between 30 minutes and 24 hours. Pour the remaining sauce into a small saucepan and set aside.
- Prepare Green Beans: Toss green beans with toasted sesame oil, coarse salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 12 minutes.
- Add Shrimp to Sheet Pan: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and push green beans to one side. Remove shrimp from marinade using a slotted spoon, discard the marinade, and place shrimp on the other side of the sheet pan. Return to oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes, adjusting time based on shrimp size.
- Make Sauce Thickener: While shrimp cooks, bring the reserved sauce in the saucepan to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water until dissolved and milky. Slowly whisk this slurry into the simmering sauce and continue simmering for 2-3 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Toss Shrimp and Green Beans: Transfer cooked shrimp and green beans to a large bowl. Pour the thickened honey garlic sauce over them and toss to coat evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with sliced green onions, optional red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately, ideally with rice.
Notes
- This dish comes together in about 30 minutes using just one sheet pan for easy cleanup.
- Marinating the shrimp enhances flavor but can be skipped if short on time.
- Adjust the cooking time for shrimp based on their size to avoid overcooking.
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the sauce or as a garnish.
- Serve with steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
