How to make Honey Lime Shrimp
While the complete set of instructions is below, here we share the steps at a glance. This garlic honey lime shrimp dish features a sticky, sweet, and spicy shrimp with a burst of fresh citrus flavor - giving you the perfect sweet and tangy combination. Marinate the shrimp with olive oil, garlic, salt, and red chili flakes. Cook it with honey and lime juice until the sauce thickens, and serve it with chopped parsley. Heat the leftover marinade to create a cooked marinade sauce and serve it alongside the shrimp.
Ingredients
- Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Asparagus, sliced
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Garlic, minced
- Lime juice
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade with Minced Garlic and Fresh Lime Juice
Mix honey, lime juice, and raw minced garlic in a large bowl.
Step 2: Prepare the Shrimp
Clean, peel and devein shrimp. Add shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are completely coated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
You can buy deveined shrimp and/or peeled shrimp for less prep time.
Step 3: Cook the dish
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat to cook shrimp evenly on both sides until they are pink and opaque - signifying that dinner is almost ready! The secret ingredient for an extra something special? Two tablespoons of honey. As it caramelizes in the pan, it creates a sweet and spicy sauce that coats each shrimp, transforming your kitchen into a fragrant oasis filled with tantalizing aromas. Don’t forget about veggies - toss them together in olive oil accompanied by garlic, red chili flakes or red pepper flakes, salt & pepper before adding them back to the skillet heated enough so your vegetables retain their crispness while absorbing all those delicious flavors from earlier. Now add those succulent cooked shrimp again and stir everything around once more as you turn off the stove – there’s nothing quite like this savory meal that comes straight out of one single pan!
Step 4: Serve
Serve hot over jasmine rice. Tastes best when you serve shrimp immediately.
