Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Do not marinate for longer than 1 hour, as the lemon juice may start to cook the shrimp.

Step 4

If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the shrimp onto skewers for easy handling. If pan-searing, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook to ensure tender shrimp.

Step 6

Remove the shrimp from the heat and transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with rice, pasta, or salad for a complete meal.
