Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the peeled and deveined shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and red chili flakes. Stir until well mixed and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure it doesn’t burn.

Step 5

Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey-soy sauce mixture over the shrimp. Toss the shrimp to coat evenly and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the shrimp.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with extra lime wedges if desired. Snappy Shrimp pairs perfectly with steamed rice, crusty bread, or a green salad.
