Notes
Ingredient Substitutions: Feel free to use chicken or tofu in place of shrimp. For a different flavor profile, consider using teriyaki sauce instead of honey. Optional Variations: Swap in your favorite vegetables, such as zucchini, carrots, or snap peas. You can also add a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra crunch. Storage or Reheating Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently heat in a skillet over low heat until warmed through.
