Sweet Heat Skillet Shrimp

Sweet Heat makes a fast skillet shrimp dinner in about 20 minutes: smoky, a little sweet, and gently spicy from chipotle, with an optional drizzle of Honey Heatwave.

Product: Sweet Heat spice blend

Total time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 450 g large shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

• 1 tbsp Sweet Heat spice blend

• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

• Juice of 1 lime, plus extra wedges to serve

• 1 tbsp honey (skip this if you finish with Honey Heatwave instead)

• A small handful of cilantro or parsley (optional)

• Cooked rice, tortillas, or a green salad, to serve

Steps

1. Pat the shrimp dry and toss with the Sweet Heat until evenly coated.

2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 20 seconds, just until fragrant.

3. Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until pink and just cooked through.

4. Take the pan off the heat. Squeeze in the lime juice and toss with the honey, or drizzle with a little Honey Heatwave.

5. Scatter with herbs if using and serve right away with lime wedges.

Sweet Heat is smoky, a little sweet, and gently spicy from chipotle, so the shrimp pick up a caramelized crust without a long marinade.
