Jumbo shrimp glazed in a savory miso sauce. This 15 minute miso glazed shrimp is delicious and perfect with a side of rice for a weeknight dinner.
Ever have one of those nights where you just don’t want to do anything when you get home from work?
I have plenty of those days, especially when it’s a rough day at work and then afterwards, I have to take the long bus ride home. We’ve all had those days.
But for me, it’s especially so on Fridays. Maybe because it’s so close to the weekend? I don’t know.
My sisters and I have declare Fridays, “Takeout Fridays.” For some reason, Fridays tend to be our lazier days. Not that we eat out every Friday, but we’re more likely to get takeout on Friday than any other day of the week. Strange, right?
But I also like having simple dishes like this 15 Minute Miso Glazed Shrimp on hand. With just a few ingredients, this dish can be made in 15 minutes or less. Even on those lazy days, I can totally handle that.
Get the rice started in the rice cooker. Or if you prefer, you can eat noodles or quinoa or any other grain instead. Place a skillet on the stove. Put all the ingredients for the miso glaze in the skillet over medium heat. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients. Add the shrimp and cook them until they become reddish orange and no longer gray.
I can totally handle that.
And so can you.
This Miso Glazed Shrimp is definitely umami. I have no idea if I’m using that word correctly, but either way, it’s so true. The miso paste brings this dish to the next level with a savoriness that gives so much depth to Asian cuisine. I hope you’ll like it as much as I do!

This looks great, and since I like shrimp (and fortunately most of my family does as well), I’m always looking for new recipes to make with it. Its wonderful how quick you can make a dinner this way :). Thank you for stopping by my blog.
I love shrimp as a quick fix protein. My husband and I used to do takeout frequently on Fridays as well. Now we keep a frozen pizza in the freezer to tide us over if we absolutely can’t cook. I hope you are enjoying Fiesta Friday!
Love e idea of miso glaze!
Looks delicious! I’m always the most tired on Fridays. I think it’s because by Friday you’re just so run-down from the whole week!
This looks soo good!! Love shrimp!! We tend to get take out/go out to each about once a week and Friday is a great day to do that!
My mouth is watering! Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it.
This looks good. I love shrimp. I can’t find the list of ingredients for the glaze. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Sheila! I’m guest posting over at Ask Anna and the link was at the bottom of the page. I just realized that it’s a little hidden under my last photo. I’ll fix that later. Sorry! But here’s the link directly to the recipe for you.
