Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Shrimp shelled and deveined (tails on work too)
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • 4 tbsp. Butter
  • 1/2 c Honey
  • 1/2 c Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Garlic minced
  • Cracked Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter and melt. 
  • In a liquid measuring cup, add soy sauce then honey and whisk together. Add to the skillet and whisk together with the melted butter and olive oil. Add cracked black pepper. 
  • Allow sauce to simmer and reduce by 1/3, then add shrimp. If you’re using frozen cooked shrimp the shrimp will only need to heat through, about 5 minutes. 
  • Serve over rice, or the shrimp are great by themselves.

Notes

Frozen cooked shrimp can be used as an additional time saver
