Shrimp

Zesty Sauce

Method

Prepare the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Season the Shrimp

    In a mixing bowl, combine the large shrimp, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss the shrimp until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the seasoned shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Zesty Sauce

  1. 3

    Melt Butter and Sauté Garlic

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    Add hot sauce, lemon juice, honey, paprika, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Toss the Shrimp

  1. 5

    Combine Shrimp and Sauce

    Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet with the zesty sauce. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly with the sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Kickin' Shrimp!
