Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic to create the glaze. Set aside.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and season lightly with black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until pink and slightly opaque.
Flip the shrimp and pour the prepared glaze over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are fully cooked and the glaze thickens and coats the shrimp.
If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the shrimp for extra heat.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the shrimp to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
