Posted on December 18, 2016 by vanessa

 

• 1 tablespoon honey
• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne
• ¼ teaspoon grated lime zest
• ¼ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• 1 garlic clove, grated on a Microplane or finely minced
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound cleaned extra-large shrimp, patted very dry with paper towels
• 1 tablespoon very cold butter, cubed
• Lime wedges, for serving
• 1 jalapeño, halved, seeded and very thinly sliced, for serving
• 1 tablespoon chives or scallion greens, finely chopped, for serving

1. Heat oven to 500 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, combine honey, cayenne, lime zest, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper. Toss in shrimp to coat.
3. Spread shrimp on a large rimmed baking sheet and dot with butter. Roast until shrimp is pink and opaque, but before the edges have started to curl, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle generously with fresh lime juice and toss with jalapeños and chives or scallions. Serve with mayonnaise if you like.
