Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by thawing your peeled and deveined shrimp if frozen. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel for optimal seasoning. In a mixing bowl, sprinkle your chosen spices, such as Cajun seasoning or a dash of salt and pepper, over the shrimp. Allow them to marinate for about 10 minutes for full flavor absorption.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a generous tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer. Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn a vibrant pink and curl slightly. Remove them from the skillet and set aside, leaving the delicious drippings.
  3. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the butter left behind. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to brown it. Next, pour in your selected creamy base, like heavy cream, alongside soy sauce and honey. Stir the mixture well, allowing it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Gently toss the shrimp to coat them evenly, ensuring that every piece is enveloped in the flavorful mixture. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the shrimp soak up the sauce while warming through.
  5. Once fully coated and heated, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish your succulent shrimp suppers with freshly chopped herbs, like parsley or cilantro, for a vibrant touch. Serve immediately alongside your choice of sides, such as garlic bread, rice, or fresh salad for a complete meal that’s sure to impress!
