Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp in a single layer and season with 1/2 tsp salt. Sauté shrimp for 2 minutes on one side until pink edges appear.
Step 2: Flip shrimp and add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 tsp red chili flakes to the pan. Cook for another 2 minutes until shrimp are opaque and garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in 1 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1 tsp lime zest. Toss shrimp gently in the glaze until coated and sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
Step 4: Remove from heat, sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, and serve immediately with steamed rice or a fresh salad.
