Bring takeout-style flavors home in under 20 minutes with Sheet Pan Honey Garlic Shrimp and Snow Peas. Succulent shrimp and crisp snow peas roast together on a single sheet pan, tossed in a sticky, savory glaze of raw honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and toasted sesame oil.
The secret to juicy shrimp alongside crisp snow peas is High-Heat Fast Roasting (425°F / 220°C) for Just 6 to 8 Minutes. Shrimp and delicate snow peas cook in almost identical timeframes, meaning everything goes onto the baking sheet at the exact same moment and emerges tender, glossy, and perfectly cooked without any rubbery texture.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1.Prep Oven & Sheet Pan:3 min.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or heavy-duty foil.
2.Whisk Honey Garlic Glaze:3 min.
In a small bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup honey, ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch until smooth.
3.Arrange Shrimp, Snow Peas & Peppers:3 min.
Pat 1½ lbs peeled and deveined shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Arrange the shrimp, 8 oz trimmed snow peas, and sliced red bell pepper strips across the prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
4.Coat with Glaze & Fast Roast:8 min.
Pour the honey garlic glaze over the shrimp and vegetables, tossing lightly to coat every piece evenly. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and the snow peas are tender-crisp.
5.Garnish & Serve Hot:1 min.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and serve immediately over warm rice or noodles!
Expert Tips for Success
- Pat Shrimp Completely Dry: Excess water dilutes the glaze and steams the shrimp instead of allowing the honey and garlic to caramelize.
- Don’t Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cook remarkably fast in a 425°F oven. Pull the pan out as soon as they curl into a loose “C” shape and turn pink.
- Trim Snow Pea Strings: Snap off the stem end of each snow pea and pull down to remove the tough string running down the side for the best texture.
