In The Kitchen: Honey Lemon Shrimp

I'm not one to spend time in the kitchen, but lately I've developed an interest in cooking and baking (surprise, surprise!).



This is a really simple recipe for Honey Lemon Shrimp. You can always substitute the lemons for limes, as limes have a milder taste.

What you need:

1/2 lb shrimp

Salt

Chili powder

Black pepper

Lemons (just the juice, and 2 lemons)

Garlic - I minced my own garlic.

Honey

I know most recipes give a certain measurement, but I just "winged it", and guessed how much I needed it. Basically, I just dumped a good amount of the spices to my liking. Then, I mixed everything in a Ziplock bag. Try to take out as much air from the bag as possible and shake it. After that, set the bag aside so the shrimp can seep in the flavor. I would recommend around 25 minutes, but I had work so I ended up marinating it for four hours.


(I have two bags since I made two batches!)

When you're ready to cook the shrimp, just do so in a large pan over medium-heat. Stir through until the shrimp turns pink. I drizzled a bit of honey while I cooked it, just to give the shrimp a sweeter taste. And ta-daaaa!



It actually turn out really good. A bit spicy (okay, maybe a little too spicy for my liking) but it was really good! I made something edible *laughs*. I was thinking of making rice pilaf to go along with it, but laziness got the best of me.

Until my next adventure in the kitchen!
