Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Sriracha or your favorite)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, combining with the olive oil.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Stir in the red chili flakes, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip the shrimp using tongs.
Drizzle honey and add the hot sauce to the skillet, stirring to coat the shrimp evenly.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink, opaque, and slightly caramelized.
Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and season with salt and black pepper. Give everything a final stir.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the shrimp with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with rice, bread, or your favorite side dish to complement the heat.
