Honey Lime Shrimp












Ingredients:

1/2  pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4  cup olive oil
2 T  honey
1     juice of one small lime, or half a large lime (2-3 T)
1     zest of one small lime, or half a large lime
2     cloves garlic, smashed
1/2  tsp kosher salt
1/4  tsp black pepper
1/4  tsp red pepper flakes


Directions:

In a large ziplock bag, combine all of the marinate ingredients. When everything is combined well, add the shrimp, aqueeze as much air as possible out of the bag, and close it up, and put it into the refrigerator.

Let the shrimp marinate for  30 - 60 minutes, flipping the bag once or twice during that time, so that all of the shrimp are marinated.
 
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.) 4.) 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!
