🧂 Ingredients

1 Salt the shrimp with 1/2 tsp of salt.
2 In a pan on medium heat add the oil. Once heated add the shrimp and cook for 2
min on each side. 2-3 minutes for larger shrimp. Remove the shrimp from the pan
and place on the side for later.
3 Lower the heat to low and add the chili flakes and garlic. Sauté until soft,
fragrant, but not brown for 2-3 minutes. If it begins to brown lower the heat
further.
4 In a bowl combine soy sauce, water and honey. Mix until honey incorporates into
the sauce. No worries if not all of it mixes in once it heats in the pan it will
combine.
5 Add the sauce to the garlic in the pan and reduce down, mixing every few
seconds. * Note: the soy will aggressively bubble, just continue mixing. Cook
for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens.
6 Add shrimp, a splash of lime juice, and cilantro. Mix to coat the shrimp and
finish cooking them if needed 1-2 minutes. Enjoy!
