Instructions

  1. Prep: If using frozen shrimp, thaw 12 oz shrimp under cold running water 5–7 minutes; drain and pat very dry.
  2. Prep: Grate 1 tbsp ginger, mince 3 garlic cloves, zest and juice 1 lime (you want about 2 tbsp juice).
  3. Prep: Thinly slice 1/2 bunch radishes and 1/2 English cucumber. Toss with 1 tbsp lime juice, a pinch of salt, and 1 tsp neutral oil; set aside as a quick salad.
  4. Make sauce: In a small bowl whisk 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp honey (or sugar), remaining lime juice (about 1 tbsp), and 2 tbsp water. (Add 1/2 tsp sesame oil if using.)
  5. Cook shrimp (stove): Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp neutral oil. Add shrimp in a single layer; season with black pepper. Sear 1–2 minutes per side until just pink; transfer to a plate.
  6. Build aromatics: Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1/2 tbsp oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger; cook 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t brown).
  7. Glaze: Pour in the sauce; simmer 30–60 seconds to slightly thicken. Return shrimp to the pan and toss 30 seconds to coat.
  8. Wilt spinach: Add 6–8 oz spinach to the pan in handfuls; toss until just wilted, 1–2 minutes. Taste and adjust with a squeeze of lime or a pinch of salt.
  9. Serve: Spoon shrimp and gingery spinach into bowls (over cooked rice/noodles if you want). Serve the radish-cucumber salad on the side.

Health notes: ~500–650 calories per serving (depends on rice/noodles add-on and oil). Lean protein, lots of greens; low in saturated fat. Add brown rice if you want more staying power.

Drink pairing: Wine: This loves high-acid whites and bubbles. Sauvignon Blanc echoes the lime; Albariño is fantastic with shrimp; Brut sparkling cleans up the ginger/garlic richness. Local-ish bottle idea: Chateau Elan (GA) sparkling or any Brut-style bubbly you can find. Wine styles: Sauvignon Blanc; Albariño; Brut Sparkling
