Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 1 pound fresh or frozen shrimp

Honey

  • 1/4 cup honey

Butter

  • 1/4 cup butter

Old Bay Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning

Garlic

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Begin by cleaning the shrimp thoroughly. If using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry with paper towels to avoid excess moisture.
  2. Make the Honey Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey and Old Bay seasoning until well combined.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: In a skillet over medium heat, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Pour the honey butter mixture over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Add Garlic: Add minced garlic to the shrimp and cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once everything is cooked through and fragrant, remove from heat and serve immediately for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Choose Quality Shrimp: Fresh shrimp will always yield the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the shrimp to prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Modify Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey based on your preference for sweetness.
  • Let it Rest: Allow the shrimp to sit for a couple of minutes after cooking to absorb the flavors.
  • Garnish with Lime: A squeeze of lime juice before serving brightens up the dish.
