Ingredients for Red-Hot Manuka Honey Shrimp

• One pound of peeled, deveined, and clean shrimp
• 1 lime
• 4 tablespoons of butter
• 2 tablespoons of chopped, fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons of Manuka honey
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon of hot sauce
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions for Red-Hot Manuka Honey Shrimp

1. To begin, rinse the shrimp and pat it dry. Create zest with the lime before cutting it into wedges. Stem and then chop the fresh cilantro as well as mincing two garlic cloves.
2. Using a large saucepan, melt your butter on medium to high heat before adding the minced garlic, the cilantro, the Manuka honey, and the hot sauce and mixing everything together. Once it starts to bubble, add the shrimp, but avoid crowding the pan.
3. Allow the shrimp two minutes to cook before turning them over. Give them about one more minute, and then turn the heat off.
4. From there, you can remove the shrimp and serve at your discretion along with any side of your choosing (genuine Ramen noodles go with this shrimp very well). Place several lime wedges on top to complete the picture.
