Notes
Make-Ahead: You can mix the honey garlic sauce up to 2 days ahead. Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Storage: Refrigerate leftover shrimp in a sealed container for up to 2 days.
Reheat: Warm gently in a skillet over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or microwave in 15-second bursts until heated through.
Freezing: Not recommended, as shrimp can become rubbery when frozen after cooking.
Ingredient Tip: Use raw, tail-off shrimp for easiest serving. If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely and pat dry before baking.
