# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Pat shrimp dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure proper searing. Lightly season with a small amount of Old Bay seasoning to start layering the flavors.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter. Stir in honey and minced garlic, cooking for about one minute until fragrant but not browned.
03 -
Add shrimp in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side until pink and caramelized in the honey butter sauce, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through.
04 -
Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the shrimp. Serve immediately with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the honey butter sauce.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure shrimp caramelize instead of steaming.
02 -
Use fresh minced garlic to avoid large raw bites.
03 -
Fresh parsley adds brightness and a fresh herbal contrast; substitute with cilantro or chives if preferred.
