Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and lime zest. Set this sauce aside.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes to the hot oil. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and slightly opaque.
Step 6
Flip the shrimp and pour the sauce mixture over them. Add the butter to the skillet as well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are fully cooked and coated in the sauce.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately while hot with lime wedges on the side. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
