Ingredients

• 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Passion fruit pulp (fresh or frozen, thawed)
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine passion fruit pulp, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, red chili flakes, and minced garlic. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture has slightly thickened into a glaze. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer.

Step 4

Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and pour the prepared passion fruit glaze over the shrimp. Toss to coat evenly and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the shrimp to absorb the flavors.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the glazed shrimp to a serving platter.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Spicy Passion Fruit Glazed Shrimp with steamed rice or a fresh salad!
