Ingredients
- 12 oz (340 g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz (225 g) spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) red pepper flakes
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp to the pan and season with salt and black pepper.
- Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through.
- Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.
- Cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan and toss everything together.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until the pasta is heated through.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure to properly clean the shrimp by removing the vein to prevent unpleasant textures.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference.
- Use caution when adding salt, as soy sauce already contains sodium. Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
