Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Passion fruit pulp (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine passion fruit pulp, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, red chili flakes, and minced garlic. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture has slightly thickened into a glaze. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the prepared passion fruit glaze over the shrimp. Toss to coat evenly and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the shrimp to absorb the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the glazed shrimp to a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Spicy Passion Fruit Glazed Shrimp with steamed rice or a fresh salad!
