Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (large, peeled and deveined)
- 5 pieces Hot chili peppers (e.g., Thai chilies or red bird's eye chilies)

- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 2 cups Cooked white rice (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Step 2
Thinly slice the hot chili peppers and mince the garlic. Be cautious while handling chili peppers and wash your hands thoroughly afterward.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sliced chili peppers to the pan. Stir and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and slightly softened.
Step 6
Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
Step 7
Pour the marinade over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shrimp dish with chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.
