Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp with a Sweet Twist:
1. Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This ensures a good sear.
2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Mix well and set aside.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.
4. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.
5. Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque.
6. Add the Sauce: Pour the honey mixture over the shrimp. Toss to coat and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro.
8. Serve Immediately: Serve the shrimp hot, with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
