Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: chopped parsley or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in honey, sriracha, and lime juice. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until heated through.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level.
- This dish pairs well with rice, noodles, or a fresh salad.
- Use raw shrimp for best results; pre-cooked shrimp can become rubbery when reheated.
- Lime juice adds brightness but can be substituted with lemon if needed.
