Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, red chili flakes, honey, 2 tablespoons lime juice, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice, a pinch of salt, and olive oil to create a simple dressing.

Step 8

Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Step 9

Top the salad with the cooked shrimp and serve immediately for a vibrant and flavorful meal.
