Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, and lemon juice. Set this sauce mixture aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and season them with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Then, pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir to coat the shrimp evenly.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp.
Serve immediately with a slice of lemon on the side. Enjoy your Succulent Spicy Garlic and Pepper Shrimp!
