Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 limes, 2 zested and juiced and 1 halved
3 green onions, chopped, whites and greens separated
1 mounded tablespoon chile garlic paste
2 tablespoons honey
Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the shrimp and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the shrimp start to turn pink and are almost cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lime zest and the whites of the green onions. Stir into the shrimp and cook until the onion whites soften, about a minute, then add the chile garlic paste, honey and lime juice. Stir to combine, then continue to cook until the sauce has a syrupy consistency, an additional 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a small platter and garnish with the green onion tops. Zest one of the lime halves over the dish, then cut the remaining half into wedges and serve alongside.
