INGREDIENTS:

This ingredient list couldn't be shorter if it tried!

• Shrimp - fresh is best, if it's frozen defrost before marinating
• Butter & neutral oil - using both will prevent the butter from burning, while still allowing the delicious butter flavor to infuse into the dish
• Garlic - the more the merrier for garlic in my opinion
• Pure Maple Syrup - don't worry, it's not too sweet!
• Soy Sauce - I use regular soy sauce, but you could definitely use low-sodium
• Red Pepper Flakes - These give a little kick, but nothing too serious!
• Fresh Squeezed Orange - Finishing with this really brightens the dish - don't skip this one
• Rice, scallions, toasted sesame seeds to serve - you could also serve with some roasted veggies
