Ingredients
1 lb. jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tsp. olive oil, divided
Salt and black pepper to taste
¼ lb. baby bok choy, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. honey
1 lime, juiced
Directions
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Add to the hot oil and cook for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque throughout. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a clean plate.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat. Add the baby bok choy pieces and cook, stirring frequently, until the leaves are tender and the stems are softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add a splash of water if the vegetables begin to brown too quickly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and fresh lime juice until well combined. Pour this glaze into the skillet with the bok choy and stir to coat. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together, cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until the shrimp is heated through and the sauce clings to the ingredients. Serve immediately.
Comments
Jumbo shrimp are reliably stocked at Publix, Harris Teeter, and Kroger seafood counters in the Charlotte area, and bok choy turns up at most chains now, especially Publix and Harris Teeter—no special trips required. At roughly $12–14 per pound for good shrimp, this runs about $8–10 per serving on protein alone, which is reasonable for a weeknight splurge, though the dish leans pricey rather than budget-friendly. The 15-minute timer is honest only if shrimp arrive thawed and prepped; most home cooks will add 5 minutes for thawing or deveining, but it's close enough for a quick dinner. This is a no-fuss weeknight winner that comes together in one skillet, though bok choy doesn't reheat beautifully—serve it fresh or accept softer texture the next day.
