Shrimp cooked in teriyaki sauce is tender and has the perfect mixture of salty and sweet. This quick shrimp makes the perfect Asian dinner in minutes.
Frozen shrimp can come in handy when you’re on the verge of ordering take-out but want something a little healthier and faster. My favorite thing about shrimp is that it thaws and cooks in minutes, making it the ultimate way to make a quick dinner.
This teriyaki shrimp is one of our personal favorites because it’s loaded with so much flavor and goes great with noodles, rice or a salad. You can make your own teriyaki sauce at home if you’re feeling adventurous or you can use your favorite supermarket teriyaki sauce.

I’M MAKING THIS TOMORROW! CAN’T WAIT. THANKS
Yor point is quite valid. With that understood, I am planning to make and look forward to the results. The rating is ‘five” based on having the ingredients!
Excellent recipe. It’s great to have a go to quick dish for those nights when nobody knows what’s for dinner. Use hot honey for an extra kick.
Love this wonder flavor, taste. Sorry to be a downer….the only way this is 10 minute prep is…..Everything is already prepared: broccoli cut and blanched, shrimp peeled and deveined and all the ingredients for sauce are pre measured, or crushed ie garlic.

I used “Healthy Noodles” by Kilbun. I added fresh spinach, fresh mushrooms, shrimp and broccoli. I used low sodium teriyaki, ginger and garlic. Yum!
I made this for dinner last night and it was a big hit! Very yummy! I used a combination of brown sugar and honey for the sweetener, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar 1 tablespoon of honey and I doubled the sauce recipe cause I like lots of sauce, used vermicelli noodles instead of rice. Next time I’ll probably use rice noodles and maybe a pinch of red pepper flakes, this one is a keeper and will be in my rotation!
Glad to hear!
This was really good and it tasted great! Made with jasmine rice. This one is a keeper
Great recipe for meal prep. It is delicious
My try at this recipe turned out okay. I need to figure out how to add a sweet kick as it’s a little too salty.
This was so good! I doubled the sauce except for the brown sugar—I only used 3 T of that. It was so good—better than takeout!
This was so tasty! I made double the sauce just to have a bunch to drizzle on our rice. Definitely on our favorites list!
It was so good! I had to double up on it for four people. I’ll definitely make this again.
Totally scrumptious. Made it for the first time. Everyone e loved it
Had to double up on ingredients because it was7 of us. Thanks for Sharing
