OMG, ladies (and gents), let me share this absolutely divine recipe that’s been my go-to when I need something quick, delicious, and totally Instagram-worthy! Trust me, this Honey Garlic Butter Shrimp is about to become your new obsession – and it only takes 15 minutes! _hair flip_
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times this recipe has saved my behind when I have unexpected guests or just want to feel fancy without spending hours in the kitchen. It’s literally foolproof, and the flavor combination? _chef’s kiss_
Here’s what you’ll need:
• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 tablespoons butter (don’t you dare use margarine!)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• Juice of half a lemon
• Red pepper flakes (optional, but live a little!)
• Fresh parsley for garnish
Now, let me walk you through this magic, honey!
First, pat those shrimp dry – nobody likes soggy seafood! Season them with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a large skillet (my favorite pan is practically my bestie at this point), melt that butter over medium-high heat until it’s all bubbly and gorgeous.
Drop in the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds – your kitchen is about to smell amazing! Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn that beautiful pink color. Remove them from the pan (we’ll come back to them, promise!).

Now, where were we? Oh yes! In the same pan, add honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Let it simmer and reduce for about 2 minutes until it’s slightly thickened. Return those beautiful shrimp to the pan and toss them in that heavenly sauce. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if you’re feeling spicy (like me!), and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve this bad boy over rice, noodles, or just devour it straight from the pan – I won’t judge! It’s perfect for date night, girls’ night, or just treating yourself because you deserve it!
Can we talk about how versatile this dish is? I’ve made it for everything from quick lunches to impromptu dinner parties, and it’s always a showstopper. Plus, it’s healthy-ish, which means more room for wine, am I right? 🍷
