Ingredients

¼ cup Organic raw honey
2 tbsp Soy sauce
2 cloves Garlic minced
1 tsp Ginger, grated
1 tsp Chili flakes Optional

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and any optional ingredients you choose to add. Stir well to ensure that the honey is fully incorporated with the other ingredients.
Taste the glaze and adjust the flavors according to your preference. If you prefer a spicier glaze, add more chili flakes. If you prefer a tangier glaze, add more lime juice.
Set the glaze aside until you’re ready to cook the shrimp. This will give the flavors time to meld together and intensify.
