Baked Crispy Honey Lime Shrimp
Description
Baked Crispy Honey Lime Shrimp features peeled and deveined shrimp marinated briefly in a blend of eggs, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to impart flavor and aid breadcrumb coating. The shrimp are coated thoroughly in panko breadcrumbs, providing a crust that crisps during baking at 400°F for 10 to 15 minutes. While baking, a sauce is prepared combining melted butter, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, and sriracha for a touch of heat, thickened with a cornstarch slurry to a glossy glaze.
The final dish offers shrimp with a crispy golden exterior encasing the tender shellfish, coated in a sauce that balances sweetness from honey, acidity from lime, umami from soy, and heat from sriracha. The topping of fresh lime zest and cilantro provides brightness and fresh herbaceous notes.
This shrimp work well served alone as an appetizer or over steamed white rice to soak up the sauce. The balance of textures and layers of flavor make it a practical choice for a flavorful seafood meal.
