Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb. Luke’s Lobster peeled, deveined and tail off raw shrimp (thawed if frozen)
Sauce
- ½ cup coconut aminos
- ⅓ cup honey
- 6 garlic cloves, minced (2 tablespoons)
- Juice of ½ lemon (1½ tablespoons)
Vegetables
- ¾ lb. (12 oz) fresh green beans, ends trimmed
Other Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water (to mix with cornstarch)
- 2 green onions, sliced on the bias (green parts only)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Pinch of sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven Preheat the oven to 400℉ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Make Sauce In a bowl, combine coconut aminos, honey, minced garlic, and lemon juice; whisk until the honey is fully dissolved for a well-blended sauce.
- Marinate Shrimp Pour half of the sauce over the shrimp in another bowl and toss to coat. For more flavor, marinate the shrimp in the fridge for 30 minutes up to 24 hours if desired. Pour the other half of the sauce into a small saucepan and set aside.
- Prepare Green Beans Toss the trimmed green beans with toasted sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on one side of the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes.
- Add Shrimp Remove the baking sheet and push the green beans to one side. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the marinated shrimp (discarding excess marinade) to the other side of the baking sheet. Return to oven and bake shrimp for an additional 10 minutes until cooked through, adjusting time for shrimp size.
- Thicken Sauce While shrimp bakes, place the reserved sauce in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk slurry into simmering sauce and continue heating, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Toss and Serve Transfer cooked shrimp and green beans to a large bowl. Pour the thickened honey garlic sauce over the top and toss until everything is evenly coated. Garnish with sliced green onions, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds if using. Serve warm with rice.
