Browned Butter Honey Garlic Shrimp, these sautéed shrimp make a quick and easy recipe that's ready in just 15 minutes. They are juicy and flavorful from the butter, honey, garlic, lemons, and tamari.

📝 Ingredients

  • 3-4 pounds shrimp (shelled, tail on or off)
  • 1/2 cup butter (salted or unsalted)
  • 1/2 cup honey (agave or coconut sugar)
  • 3 whole lemon (juiced)
  • 2 cloves garlic clove
  • 1/4 cup Tamari (liquid aminos or lite soy)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Melt butter in a saucepan on medium to low heat and whisk constantly. When it turns light brown remove the pan from the heat.
  2. 2Add the honey, lemon juice, garlic, and tamari to the butter and stir to combine. Cook for about 30 seconds or until the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat.
  3. 3Remove and reserve all except 4 tablespoons of the butter sauce from the pan.
  4. 4To the 4 tablespoons of butter sauce left in the pan, add half of the shrimp. Sear for 2 minutes on each side or until just cooked through and no longer opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan. Now add a little more butter to the pan and the other 1/2 of the shrimp. Sear for 2 minutes on both sides.
  5. 5Add all the shrimp back to the pan and pour all the butter mixture over them. Gently stir so the butter sauce covers all the shrimp.
  6. 6Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.
