Notes

If you want to use up the pan juices, just add 1 tablespoon of Soy Sauce and 2-3 tablespoon of water to the skillet. You can add this while cooking the shrimp or after you’ve got it out.
Bring the sauce to a simmer. If you want you can add a teaspoon of Maple Syrup or Honey or Fruit Sweetener to this but that optional. Just bring this to a simmer and pour over the cooked shrimp.
When I serve this Garlic Lime Shrimp with some cooked White Rice, I love to add this pan juice of Soy Sauce and Water over the Shrimps. I donot add any kind of sweetener as I am on a strict low carb diet. But you can if you aren’t! Its definitely a delicious addition.
