Sweet and flavorful Skillet Chili Garlic and Lime Shrimp that tastes amazing and is ready in just minutes! Perfect as an appetizer, on top of a salad or even as a main dish!
Boy do I LOVE shrimp, especially in the summertime. It’s fresh, delicious and only takes a few minutes to make! This recipe was inspired by my Asian Shrimp Salad with Ginger Sesame Dressing that I’m utterly obsessed with, which is honestly an understatement. The shrimp on that salad is just so incredible and has had tons of rave reviews that it just needed to be highlighted as its own dish. I’ve modified the sauce a bit, but this recipe still has all the same great flavors!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Shrimp (medium sized)
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Sweet chili sauce
- Low-sodium soy sauce
- Lime juice
- Honey
- Fresh ginger
- Green onions + sesame seeds for garnish
How to Serve Chili Garlic Shrimp
This shrimp dish is super versatile too so have fun with this recipe! You could serve this over rice, have a side of pasta, throw it on top of a salad, or even add more veggies to the skillet for an even more complete meal. I highly suggest broccoli, red bell pepper, or asparagus, but I mean the possibilities are endless. My hubby even likes to make these into skewers and throw them on the grill adding veggies to each skewer. You really can’t go wrong as long as you have this delicious marinade!
This is also a great recipe for for meal prep because this shrimp tastes even better the next day! Best part is you can enjoy this either hot or cold, although I personally prefer mine warmed up first. Definitely give it a try though and see what you think!
Use Fresh or Frozen Shrimp
Also feel free to use fresh or frozen shrimp, just make sure the frozen shrimp is thawed completely. I always like to get shrimp that has already been peeled and deveined just to make life that much easier and I always leave the tails on because hello! Presentation! 🙂 Haha but you do whatever works for you of course.
