Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1.5 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Lightly toss them with all-purpose flour to coat evenly.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the garlic.
Add honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Let the shrimp heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with rice, pasta, or a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
