Hot Honey Shrimp
Sticky, glossy shrimp with a sweet-heat finish - fast, dramatic, and designed to use one bottle or less.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Sear the shrimp hard in neutral oil until lightly charred at the edges and just opaque in the center.
- Build the glaze by lowering the heat and folding in the spicy honey with lime juice or vinegar.
- Toss until the shrimp turn glossy and lacquered, then plate immediately while they are still snappy.
Tips
- Do not overcook - pull shrimp as soon as they turn opaque and curl.
- Add lime zest at the end for extra aroma.
- Great in tacos, over rice, or skewered.
Heat-tier swaps
- El Curandero Verde (Mild): drizzle heavier; safest for breakfast and pizza.
- El Abejorro del Campo (Medium): the signature balance for most recipes.
- La Abeja Tropical (Hot): use lighter; glaze late; brush instead of fully tossing when needed.
