Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 orange zest of an orange
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, salt, black pepper, and half of the minced garlic. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and heat up.

Step 4

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the remaining minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the orange sauce mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.

Step 7

Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately with rice, quinoa, or alongside your favorite vegetables.
