HONEY LIME SHRIMP



Honey Lime Shrimp image

Super saucy, garlicky, sweet and tangy! And it's on your dinner table in just 20 MINUTES! So fast and oh so good.

Provided by Chungah Rhee

Categories     appetizer

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium shallot, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/3 cup vegetable or chicken stock
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
2 teaspoons lime zest
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and shallot, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chili powder and paprika. 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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients and utensils are prepped and ready to go. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your stir-fry. Look for plump, juicy shrimp, ripe bell peppers, and crisp snow peas.
  • Marinate the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in the honey-lime-cajun sauce before cooking helps to infuse them with flavor. If you don't have time to marinate the shrimp for the full 30 minutes, even a short marinade will help.
  • Cook the Shrimp in Batches: If you are cooking a large amount of shrimp, cook them in batches to prevent them from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of searing.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-frying because it allows you to cook the ingredients quickly and evenly.
  • Stir-Fry Over High Heat: Stir-frying is a high-heat cooking method, so make sure your wok or skillet is hot before adding the ingredients. This will help to create a nice sear on the shrimp and vegetables.
  • Don't Overcook the Ingredients: Stir-frying is a quick cooking method, so it's important not to overcook the ingredients. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery, and the vegetables will lose their crunch.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the dish is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Honey-lime-cajun shrimp stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The combination of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it over rice or noodles, or with a side of steamed vegetables.
