Ingredients
Method
- Melt butter in a non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add honey, minced garlic, and lemon juice; stir well to combine. Cook for about 30 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Pour out just over half of the honey garlic butter from the pan, leaving approximately 2 tablespoons for later use.
- In the same pan, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Sear half of the shrimp for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until cooked through and opaque. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and set aside. Wipe the pan with a paper towel and repeat with the remaining olive oil and shrimp.
- Return all cooked shrimp to the pan. Pour in the remaining honey garlic butter sauce and stir to evenly coat the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
- Serve the Buttery Honey Garlic Shrimp hot, garnished with lemon slices for an extra burst of flavor.
