 I asked my husband what he would like for supper tonight. His choices in order of preference were grilled shrimp, mussels or scallops. As NJ scallops are running $24.99/lb., they were out. Therefore, shrimp was selected by default. With a quick search on my nytcooking app, I found a quick and easy recipe for Hot Honey Shrimp, a recipe by Melissa Clark. Besides shrimp and honey, you'll need ground cayenne pepper, a lime, fresh ginger, a garlic clove, salt, pepper, butter, jalapeño and either fresh chives or scallions. The shrimp are coated with a blend of honey, cayenne, lime zest, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper. As this dish bakes in a 500° oven for just five minutes, I had my sides finished and kept warm. As Melissa Clark suggested, I stood by the oven so that once the five minutes was up, I quickly pulled the shrimp from the oven. To serve, I went to my garden and cut some fresh chives to chop and place over the shrimp before serving. The shrimp came out moist and cooked perfectly. The hot honey was mild and perhaps would have benefited from a bit of chopped jalapeño for just a bit more heat. Overall a delicious supper, perfect for a weekday meal.
