Instructions

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted and hot.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Stir in honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately, perhaps over rice or with a side of vegetables.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in the soy sauce and honey mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
This dish pairs well with a side of jasmine rice or a simple green salad.
You can substitute the shrimp with chicken for a different variation of the dish.
