Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 lime juiced and zested
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined

Instructions

  • In a bowl mix together olive oil, honey, the zest of the lime, the juice of the lime, garlic, pepper, and salt.
  • Rinse off your shrimp. This is to be sure all of the ice is melted, and to give it a good rinse after coming from the deli. Best if you rinse with cold/warm water rather than hot, especially if working with uncooked shrimp, to avoid the shrimp beginning to cook while being rinsed.
  • Put shrimp in gallon sized Ziploc bag and dump marinade over the shrimp.
  • Make sure the marinade is completely coating all of the shrimp and seal the bag and put it in the fridge.
  • Let it marinade for 1-2 hours, the longer you let it marinade the better the flavor.
  • On a frying pan over medium heat, warm up the shrimp. I like to pour the marinade over the shrimp while it's heating up so that it can cook in the flavor.
  • Cook until the shrimp begins to turn golden brown.
