Honey Shrimp

Whenever I cook shrimp, I think why don't I cook shrimp more often. They cook up so quickly and they always come out tasting so good.

Honey Shrimp

1c carrots julienne (3-4)
1.5 c zucchini julienne (1 medium)
olive oil
1lb shrimp (16/20), shells removed and cleaned, tails on
2 clove garlic, minced
scant 1/4 c soy sauce
3 T honey
Cooked rice for serving

Saute carrots and zucchini in a large hot skillet about 2 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside in a bowl. Add shrimp and cook about 2 minutes and then turn. When the shrimp resembles a "C" remove from pan. When last shrimp or two are in the pan and almost done add garlic. Combine soy sauce and honey. Add to pan. Return vegetables and shrimp to skillet and heat through. Serve over rice.

Simple, quick, and delicious dinner. The prep takes a little bit of time, julienne-ing all those vege. I always underestimate how much time it takes to shell and clean the shrimp too. Even with all that said, it probably takes about 1/2 hour to knock this meal out.
