Honey Garlic Shrimp

Honey Garlic Shrimp sticky-sweet savory sauce makes this dish extra exciting.

The main ingredients of course aside from the shrimp, is the honey and garlic which gives aromatic taste to the dish.

For the shrimp, medium to large size is well recommended.  You can clean the shrimp by cutting the top-edge of the head and its legs with a scissor.  Wash the shrimp with clean tap water and gently clean the shell with your fingers. Others, remove the head and shell of the shrimp.  But in this recipe, I did not remove the skin and head of the shrimp to maintain it's natural size.
