Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
• 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 4 lime wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine minced garlic, fresh lime juice, honey, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), ground allspice, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the shrimp from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and place them in the skillet in a single layer. Reserve the marinade.

Step 5

Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip them and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until they're pink and opaque.

Step 6

Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly and coat the shrimp in the flavorful sauce.

Step 7

Remove the shrimp from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and green onions.

Step 8

Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
