This was one of the first I attempted. “Just follow the directions,” I thought. Turns out: that’s it!

Ingredients

• 1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• ½ cup honey
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 2 T garlic, minced
• juice of one small lemon
• 2 T butter
• green onions, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a small bowl whisk honey, soy sauce, garlic and lemon.
2. Add half of the sauce to the shrimp and let marinate for 30 minutes.
3. In a medium sized skillet add the butter.
4. After the butter has melted, add the shrimp and discard marinade.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Turn the heat to medium high. Cook until the shrimp turns pink – about 2 minutes each side.
7. Add the reserved marinade and pour over shrimp.
8. Cook until the sauce starts to thicken and coats the shrimp. Garnish with green onions.
