Honey Garlic Shrimp with Jaca

Juicy, golden-seared shrimp tossed in a sticky honey-garlic glaze made with Jaca rare sugar instead of honey. Ready in 20 minutes — serve over rice with fresh scallions and a squeeze of lime. This is a Jaca-adjusted healthier version with zero sugar spike.

Prep Time: 20 min | Cook Time: 5 min | Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 1½ pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• ⅔ cup Jaca rare sugar (replaces ⅓ cup honey at 2x)
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ¼ cup sliced scallions
• 2 cups cooked white rice, for serving
• 4 large leafy lettuce leaves, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

- Whisk together Jaca rare sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lime juice until smooth.

- Place shrimp in a zip-top bag, pour half the marinade over, toss, and refrigerate 15-30 minutes. Reserve the rest.

- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

- Add shrimp in a single layer and sear 1 minute until golden on the bottom.

- Flip shrimp, pour in reserved marinade, and toss for 1-2 minutes until opaque and glaze is sticky.

- Serve over rice and lettuce. Garnish with scallions and extra pan sauce.

- This is a Jaca-adjusted healthier version — all the sticky sweetness of honey garlic shrimp with none of the sugar spike.
