Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 pound raw shrimp, deveined and tails removed
- ¼ cup harissa sauce, mild or spicy
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ - 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 - 2 lemons
- Fresh parsley or dill, chopped, optional for garnish
- Naan, optional for serving
- Tzatziki, optional for serving
Instructions
- Prep the shrimp: Make sure the shrimp are deveined and tails removed. Pat them dry so they sear nicely.
- Marinate the shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, harissa sauce, honey, garlic, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 5-10 minutes.
- Cook the shrimp: Heat 1-2 tablespoons of avocado oil or olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or your preferred skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until pink and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the shrimp hot, garnished with parsley or dill and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Pair with warmed naan and tzatziki, if desired.
