Quick Blackened Shrimp

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs large raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
  • 3 tsps chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 Tbsps raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsps avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • fresh lime wedges and fresh chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Pat your shrimp dry with a paper towel and set them aside in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle shrimp with all of your seasonings and drizzle with honey. Stir very well to evenly coat each shrimp, and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
  • Heat half of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook, in 2 batches so they can crisp up, for 3-4 minutes until curled and opaque.
  • Add remaining half of the oil once you're cooking the second batch.
  • Serve with lime wedges and fresh chopped cilantro.
