Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp peeled and deveined, tails on
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped
- 1 lime cut into wedges
Instructions
- Place a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Use paper towels to pat the shrimp dry.
- Add butter to the skillet to melt. Stir in the honey, Sriracha, and garlic cloves. When the mixture is bubbly and simmering, add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer.
- Cook 2 minutes, allowing shrimp to brown and caramelize on one side, then, using tongs, turn the shrimp over and finish cooking, another 1-2 minutes (cooking time will vary depending on the size of your shrimp) or until cooked through but not overdone.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Spoon the pan sauces over the shrimp and sprinkle with cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve the shrimp promptly with lime wedges.
