HONEY LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

Add shrimp; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in vegetable or chicken stock, honey, lime juice and lime zest, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro and remaining 2 tablespoons butter until melted. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, vinegar, honey, lime juice, salt, pepper and garlic together to make marinade. Marinate shrimp for about 30 minutes or more if desired, then drain marinade into a cup and save to make glaze after cooking shrimp.
• Heat grill pan to medium, grill shrimp for a total of 3 minutes, turning over once. Remove shrimp from pan and cover to keep warm.
• Blend butter and flour together and add to juices in pan. Add saved marinade to pan also and heat till thickened stirring to prevent lumps, about a minute or two. Cover shrimp with glaze or serve separately over white rice.
• Makes two servings.

HONEY LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a large ziploc bag, combine all the marinade ingredients. When everything is well-combined, add the shrimp, squeeze as much air as possible out of the bag, and close it up. Place it in the fridge.
• Let the shrimp marinate for 30-60 minutes, flipping the bag around once or twice during that time, so that all the shrimp stay evenly covered in the marinade.
• When you're ready to cook, take the shrimp out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; there is no need to add any oil or butter to the pan, as the marinade has enough oil in it to keep the shrimp from sticking to the pan. (If you would prefer to use the grill for these, you can thread them onto skewers and toss them on the grill at this point.).
• Add your shrimp to the pan in a single layer, making sure they are not too crowded; you can always cook them in more than one batch.
• Let them cook on one side for about a minute, until they curl up and start to turn pink.
• Flip them over, and cook for another 30 seconds or so, until the shrimp are opaque.
• Remove from the pan, and serve immediately!
