Sautéed Shrimp
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic and ginger.
Put the shrimp and half of the marinade into a bowl to marinate for at least 10 minutes and up to one hour.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Add shrimp in a single layer and fry 1-2 minutes or until pink.
Add the rest of the marinade and then flip the shrimp.
Cook for 2 more minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly and starts to coat the shrimp.
Baked Shrimp
Preheat oven to 400°F. Set aside a large baking sheet.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix shrimp with seasoning and oil. Place the seasoned shrimp on the baking sheet.
Bake for 7 or 8 minutes.
Fried Shrimp
Mix together flour, salt and pepper in one bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs.
In the third bowl, mix together coconut and Panko bread crumbs.
Holding shrimp by the tail, dredge in the flour mixture, shake off excess and dip into beaten egg. Then dredge thoroughly in the coconut mixture to coat.
In a medium saucepan or deep fryer, add 2-3 inches of oil and heat to 375°F.
Fry shrimp in batches of 2-3 for about 2 minutes until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire cooling rack.
Boiled Shrimp
Fill a large pot (8-12 quart) with 4 quarts of water. Add seasoning and salt. Place over high heat and bring to a boil.
Add the shrimp and simmer for 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the shrimp sit in the pot for 5-6 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Drain the liquid, reserving a few cups if you prefer broth on the side.
Transfer the shrimp to a plate. Serve with optional melted butter, lemon wedges and hot sauce.
Grilled Shrimp
Preheat grill for medium heat.
Brush shrimp with oil and then mix with seasoning.
Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until pink and opaque.
