Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the sauce. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
