Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a medium bowl, combine the large shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the hot honey sauce.

Hot Honey Sauce

  1. 2

    Prepare the Hot Honey Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, red pepper flakes, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Stir continuously until the mixture is heated through and slightly bubbly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking the Shrimp

  1. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

  2. 4

    Add the Hot Honey Sauce

    Once the shrimp are cooked, pour the hot honey sauce over the shrimp in the skillet. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly in the sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and serve the hot honey shrimp with lemon wedges on the side.
