Notes

Make sure not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste. For a bit of spice, add red pepper flakes to the honey garlic mixture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
