Allergen Information:
This homemade honey garlic shrimp recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and oat-free. It is also soy-free if you use coconut aminos in place of gluten-free soy-sauce.
Ingredient Notes:
For the full list of ingredients and amounts, please go to the recipe card below.
- Shrimp – you want to get raw, peeled, and deveined shrimp. If you can only find shrimp with the peels and veins, you will need to peel and devein them to make this recipe.
- Coconut Aminos – these are very similar to soy sauce. You can also use low-sodium gluten free soy sauce.
Step-By-Step Photos and Directions:
Step 1: Mix the honey garlic marinade in a small bowl. Add all of the marinade ingredients to a bowl and whisk to blend. Let this marinade sit while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
Step 2: Add the raw shrimp and marinade to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Let’s make the salsa while the shrimp is marinating. Add the diced mango, red onion, and cherry tomatoes into a dish and mix well. Serve with any vegetables you like. This salsa would also taste great on this Pulled Pork Tacos recipe.
Step 4: Cook the honey shrimp stir fry in a cast-iron skillet for 5-7 minutes until cooked.
Step 5: Add cooked vegetables like asparagus and serve with the mango salsa.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes, you can use frozen shrimp. If you donโt have fresh or access to fresh shrimp, donโt worry! Just defrost the frozen shrimp in the refrigerator overnight.
If you are in a hurry, you can fill a bowl with cold water and place the shrimp inside. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and check them to see if they are thawed.
Yes, you can make honey garlic shrimp spicy! (You know I love spicy!!) The marriage of sweetness and spice is out of this world! Follow the instructions as directed, but add a few red pepper flakes and some sriracha when cooking. Make sure only to add a little bit and increase it if you want it to be spicier. You canโt fix it if you make it too hot, so less is more.
Store leftover honey garlic shrimp in an airtight container and place in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you notice any overly fishy odors, visible mold, or any kind of odd texture, then it has started to go bad and should be discarded right away.
Additionally, you can freeze the shrimp in a freezer-safe container for 3-6 months. If it has been cooked, the texture may be a little tougher after you thaw it out than when you eat it freshly cooked.
Serve with these sides:
Now that you have decided to make this gluten free honey garlic shrimp, you might not be sure what to make with it. Here are some simple and tasty ideas to get you started:
- Rice – This dish tastes phenomenal over a big bed of fluffy rice!
- Asian Noodles – Garlic shrimp paired with Asian noodles is a match made in food heaven.
- Broccoli – Serve with a large serving of steamed broccoli. Yum!
- Salad – You can never go wrong with serving a salad.
Reader adaptations:
I changed it up and only used the marinade with the shrimp, I then added roasted broccoli to it. It was fantastic!”

Hi Diane, It was a little confusing the way the recipe card showed it. I changed the data a little so the components are more clearly labeled
