MELT BUTTER: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the butter and let it melt.
MAKE THE SAUCE: Add garlic, soy sauce, and honey, swirling the pan every now and then until sauce has slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. If you enjoy spicy food, stir in ⅛ teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a few drops of hot sauce to the sauce.
COOK SHRIMP: Add half of the shrimp, cook for about 2 minute, flip them, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until they turn pink and curl into a C-shape. Transfer to a plate. Melt the other half of the butter and cook remaining shrimp until cooked through. Add the other cooked shrimp back to the pan and stir in sauce until combined.
GARNISH: If you’d like to, squeeze the juice of 1 juicy lime on top and sprinkle 1-2 tablespoon chopped green onions and/or 1-2 teaspoon sesame seeds on top. Serve Garlic Butter Shrimp right away!
