Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice fresh squeezed
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground red chili flakes add more to your taste
- 21 oz Shrimp peeled and deveined, tail on or off
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 4 Lime wedges to serve
- 1 pinch fresh parsley chopped, to serve
Instructions
- Heat butter in a non stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Melt, swirling pan and stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes, or until the foam settles; the butter begins to change in colour to golden brown and has a nutty fragrance.
- Add the honey, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic and chili flakes; stir well to combine all of the flavours together and cook for 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
- Remove from heat. Pour out just over half of the browned butter from the pan (liquid only), leaving 2 tablespoons of the lime butter mixture in the pan, and reserve the rest for later.
- Add half of the shrimp to the lime/butter in the pan, season with salt and pepper. Sear for about 2 minutes each side, or until just cooked through and no longer opaque. Transfer to a plate, set aside.
- Wipe pan over with paper towel and add 2 more tablespoons of the lime/butter mixture to the pan. (You may need to add 1 teaspoon of olive oil or extra butter to the pan if your sauce has thickened too much.)
- Season and sear the remaining shrimp for 2 minutes each side, or until just cooked through and no longer opaque.
- Add the cooked shrimp back into the pan, and pour in the remaining lime/butter sauce; stirring through the shrimp to evenly coat. Season with salt if desired and garnish with parsley and extra chili flakes (if desired).
- Serve with steamed vegetables; over rice or with a salad
Notes
- Tip: If you're gluten free, swap out the soy sauce for Tamari.
