Ingredients

Shrimp and Marinade

  • 1 lb. Luke’s Lobster peeled, deveined and tail off raw shrimp (thawed if frozen)
  • ½ cup coconut aminos
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced (2 tablespoons)
  • Juice of ½ lemon (1½ tablespoons)

Vegetables and Seasoning

  • ¾ lb. (12 oz) fresh green beans, ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Sauce Thickener and Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water (for cornstarch slurry)
  • 2 green onions, sliced on the bias (green parts only)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Pinch of sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400℉ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, honey, minced garlic, and lemon juice until the honey fully dissolves to create the marinade and sauce base.
  3. Marinate Shrimp: Pour half of the marinade over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in the fridge for 30 minutes to 24 hours, if time permits. Reserve the other half of the marinade in a small saucepan.
  4. Season Green Beans: Toss the trimmed green beans with toasted sesame oil, coarse salt, and black pepper, then spread them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast Green Beans: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the green beans for 12 minutes until they start to become tender.
  6. Add Shrimp to Sheet Pan: Remove the baking sheet; push the green beans to one side. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the marinated shrimp to the other side of the baking sheet, discarding any leftover marinade in the shrimp bowl. Return the sheet to the oven.
  7. Roast Shrimp and Beans: Roast for an additional 8-10 minutes, depending on the shrimp size, until the shrimp are cooked through and opaque.
  8. Simmer Sauce: While shrimp and beans roast, place the reserved marinade in the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring it to a simmer.
  9. Prepare Cornstarch Slurry and Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth and milky. Slowly whisk this slurry into the simmering sauce, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens nicely.
  10. Toss Together: Transfer the cooked shrimp and green beans to a large bowl. Pour the thickened honey garlic sauce over them and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  11. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with sliced green onions, optional red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds as desired. Serve hot with rice for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Marinating shrimp longer enhances flavor but is optional if short on time.
  • Adjust cooking time of shrimp to prevent overcooking; smaller shrimp cook faster.
  • Use parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup of the sheet pan.
  • Optional garnishes like red pepper flakes and sesame seeds add extra flavor and visual appeal.
  • Serve with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
