Description
A quick and flavorful dish featuring shrimp marinated in hot honey and spices, perfect for a weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large or jumbo shrimp
- 1 Tbsp hot honey (I use Mike’s hot honey)
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lime, juice of (~2 Tbsp lime juice)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prep Shrimp: Clean and devein your raw shrimp. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, combine the deveined shrimp, olive oil, hot honey, lime juice, and spice mixture until each shrimp is coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
- If making these shrimp in the air fryer, spread them in an even layer in your air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 5-6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. Serve with lime wedges!
- Hint: An alternative cooking option is in a skillet! Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Then cook each side of the shrimp for 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. You can tell when the shrimp is done when it turns opaque.
Notes
- This recipe can also be made with other proteins like chicken or tofu.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey based on your spice preference.
