Instructions
Pat Shrimp Dry
Pat shrimp thoroughly dry with paper towels. This step is critical for getting a good sear rather than steaming the shrimp.
Sear the Shrimp
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1 minute per side until pink. Remove and set aside.
Make the Sauce
In the same skillet melt remaining butter over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice.
Glaze the Shrimp
Return shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the honey garlic sauce. Cook for 1 additional minute until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the shrimp.
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
