Sweet and tangy baked crispy honey lime shrimp is lighter than fried versions with the most incredible sticky honey, lime, and garlic glaze. A MUST for shrimp lovers.
Shrimp has been making a weekly – or even bi-weekly – appearance in my kitchen lately. I don’t know what’s gotten into me but I have shrimp on the brain and I can’t seem to get enough of it right now. It’s a good thing my husband loves shrimp as much as I do to help me taste-test and devour all of this seafood goodness.
This recipe is so simple but packs SO much flavor. First, you marinate the shrimp for just 15 minutes in a mixture of eggs, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Then dip the shrimp in panko breadcrumbs to coat and arrange them on a large baking sheet in a single layer so that they aren’t overlapping.
Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes until perfectly golden brown and crispy on the outside.
While the shrimp is baking, whip up that sweet and tangy honey lime and garlic sauce.
Just bring it all to a boil, stir in a little cornstarch slurry, and voila – you’re done. Combine the sauce and the shrimp and top it off with a little lime zest and chopped fresh cilantro and you’ve got one heck of a tasty shrimp dish on the table.

How do you change recipe for cooked frozen shrimp
Just make it the same way but the shrimp will need to be thawed. It won’t need quite as long to cook! Basically you’re just heating the shrimp since they’re already cooked.
