📝 Ingredients

• 20 large shrimp (deveined and peeled, leaving tails intact)
• salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (to season the shrimp)
• 2 tbsp butter (softened at room temperature)
• 3 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1-2 tbsp lemon juice (adjust based on preference)
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• grated parmesan cheese (for garnish)
• toasted baguette slices and/or pasta (for serving)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Defrost shrimp if needed and pat dry to remove excess water. Season with salt, pepper, and a touch of cayenne pepper if desired. Set aside.
2. 2Combine softened butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a bowl to form a creamy paste.
3. 3Add oil into a skillet on medium heat, followed by the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turns pink in color, then add the prepared garlic-butter paste. Stir around and cook until the shrimp are evenly coated with the sauce, about a minute or two.
4. 4Stir in honey and lemon juice, and remove from heat once everything is thoroughly combined. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese and parsley, and serve warm with a side of toasted bread and/or pasta.
