Cooked in under 10 minutes, this easy sweet hoisin lemon shrimp meal prep is packed with flavour. Marinate the shrimp overnight or for 30 minutes, and you've got yourself a delicious meal prep! Look no further for this week's meal prep than this sweet hoisin lemon shrimp recipe!
In a bowl, mix together hoisin sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and garlic powder. You can set some sauce aside as dipping sauce for servings or you can re-make some afterwards with half the amount of each ingredient
Once the sauce is mixed, in a large ziploc bag, combine the shrimp and sauce. Let the shrimp marinate in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. While the shrimp is marinading, soak your skewers in water to prevent them from burning if you are not using metal skewers.
Heat oven up to 400F.
Once the shrimp are done marinading, placed them on the skewers and transfer them to a lightly greased sheet pan (with the oil spray). Brush them one last time with the marinade and bake for 6-8 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
Notes
As the shrimp marinates, you can work on your sides (quinoa, rice, roasted potatoes, etc, can take up to 30 minutes, so it’ll be a great use of time). Since I was just going to blanch the broccoli and serve it with a side of corn, I waited to do it while the shrimp were in the oven.How to blanch broccoli: prepare a bowl of ice water and have it next to the stove. Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. Add a tablespoon of salt and then add the broccoli florets and cook until crisp-tender, this should take around 1 to 1.5 minutes. Quickly remove the broccoli once done with a slotted spoon and immediately transfer to the ice water.
