Notes
Ingredient substitutions: If you don't have shrimp, you can easily swap in chicken or tofu for a different protein. Use maple syrup or agave instead of honey for a vegan alternative. Optional variations: Add a splash of lime juice for a zesty kick, or toss in some vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra color and nutrition. Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat quickly in a skillet over low heat to maintain texture.
