Ingredients<\/p>\n
1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined<\/p>\n
3 tablespoons honey<\/p>\n
2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)<\/p>\n
1 tablespoon chili paste or Sriracha (adjust to taste)<\/p>\n
3 cloves garlic, finely minced<\/p>\n
1 teaspoon smoked paprika<\/p>\n
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter<\/p>\n
Garnish: red pepper flakes, chopped cilantro, or green onions<\/p>\n
Instructions<\/p>\n
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, chili paste, and minced garlic. Set aside.<\/p>\n
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then season lightly with smoked paprika and a pinch of salt.<\/p>\n
Heat the oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer.<\/p>\n
Cook for about 2 minutes per side, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.<\/p>\n
Pour the sauce over the shrimp and toss well to coat. Let it simmer for 1\u20132 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.<\/p>\n
Remove from heat immediately, garnish, and serve warm.<\/p>\n
How to Make<\/p>\n
For the best results, cook the shrimp over high heat. A hot pan creates a light sear that enhances both flavor and texture. Smoked paprika helps give the shrimp a rich color and a subtle smoky taste.<\/p>\n
Variations<\/p>\n
Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice for a fresh citrus flavor<\/p>\n
Increase the spice level with extra chili flakes<\/p>\n
Stir in a little cream or coconut milk for a richer sauce<\/p>\n
Tips<\/p>\n
Avoid overcooking the shrimp, as they cook very quickly<\/p>\n
Always pat shrimp dry before cooking to ensure a good sear<\/p>\n
Use fresh garlic for a stronger, more authentic flavor<\/p>\n
