Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Raw shrimp
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Lime, juiced and zested
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, lime zest, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the bowl and mix until well coated. Let the shrimp marinate for 5 minutes.
While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the honey lime dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly caramelized.
Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Transfer the shrimp to a serving plate and serve with the honey lime dipping sauce on the side for dipping.
