How to Prepare Browned Butter Honey Garlic Shrimp

How to brown butter

The most important step is to brown the butter and then mix it with honey and garlic. After browning the butter, once the foam subsides and the color begins to turn golden brown, add the rest of your ingredients and cook for 30 seconds to integrate all of the flavors. Add the shrimp to the honey, garlic, and butter mixture once, and sear them for two minutes on each side to get a crisp flavor.

Allow the butter to melt and saute the garlic until fragrant for the hot sauce.

Sauté the peeled shrimp with the creole spice until they have a good brown color. Shrimp cook rapidly, so there's no need to cook them for an extended period of time.

Remove the skillet from the heat once the shrimp is three-quarters cooked and add the clam juice, fish sauce, Worcester sauce, lemon, smoked paprika, and spicy sauce.

Bring to a boil and allow it to thicken then add the shrimp to the pot and cook for another minute or two.

Cook, stirring constantly until the remaining butter has melted. The butter will combine with the sauce to create the most delicious buttery sweetness sauce ever. Serve with a garnish of onions and coriander.

Tips of cooking browned butter honey garlic shrimp

Before you begin cooking ensure you have all of your ingredients measured and ready.

Be careful not to burn your butter; once the foam has subsided and the color has changed to a golden color, add your ingredients and whisk them in thoroughly.

Use a well-seasoned skillet or a good-quality non-stick pan to prevent the shrimp from sticking to the pan's surface when searing.

Use fresh garlic since fresh garlic always tastes better and gives the shrimp a bolder aromatic appeal.

Make sure you do not overcook your shrimp because it will become rubbery and tough.

If you have a small pan, you can cook in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan.

Ingredients

600 g shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon soy sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

Salt to season

Lemon wedges, garnish

Freshly chopped coriander, garnish

Onions to garnish

Procedure

In a nonstick pan or skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Swirl the butter in the pan and toss occasionally until the foam settles and the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma.

Stir in the honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, and garlic, and heat for 30 seconds, or until the garlic is aromatic. Remove the pan from the heat.

Drain slightly over half of the browned butter from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons of the honey-butter mixture in the pan, and set aside the rest for another time.

Sear the shrimp in the honey/butter in the pan until they are cooked through and no longer opaque on both sides. Place on a platter and put away.

Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and add 2 more tablespoons of the honey/butter combination. Adding more butter to the pan can make the sauce thinner.

Add the cooked shrimp to the pan and pour in the remaining honey/butter sauce, stirring to evenly coat the shrimp. If preferred, season with salt and pepper, and top with coriander.

Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or a salad as a side dish.
