Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the lemon glaze.

Reduce the heat to low and pour the lemon glaze over the shrimp. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly and let them cook for 1 additional minute. Remove the skillet from heat.
