Ingredients
- 1 pound unpeeled shrimp cleaned
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning or a good Cajun blend will do
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce
- 1 lemon for juice
- hot pepper flakes
Instructions
- If the shrimp tails have not been cleaned, use a kitchen knife or scissors to cut through the tail end shell and clean out the digestive track. Rinse to ensure the shrimp are properly cleaned. Toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, Old Bay or Cajun seasoning, and salt and pepper.
- Next, heat a large pan to medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the shrimp and cook them a couple minutes per side, until they are nice and pink throughout and cooked through.
- Whisk together the gochujang, honey and hot sauce. Pour into the pan and toss to coat the shrimp.
- Squeeze lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with hot pepper flakes. Serve!
