Instructions

Honey-Lime Shrimp:  

  1. Peel and devein shrimp. Rinse under cold water, drain and set aside.
  2. Add olive oil to a sauté pan and heat to medium.
  3. Add shrimp, lime juice, garlic and honey to pan. Stir well.
  4. Cook 2-3 minutes per side. The shrimp are done when they have turned bright pink and the flesh is opaque white, rather than translucent. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
