Make the marinade

  1. 1

    Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until smooth.

  1. 1

    Pat the shrimp dry. Set aside 2 tablespoons marinade. Add the remaining marinade along with the shrimp to a 1-gallon zip-top bag or baking dish.

  2. 2

    Toss the shrimp to coat, then press as much air out of the bag (if using) as possible, or cover with plastic wrap (if using a baking dish). Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 3 hours, tossing occasionally.

Grill the shrimp

  1. 1

    Heat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and shake to remove any excess. Discard the marinade. Grill the shrimp 2-3 minutes per side, or until opaque and just cooked through.

  2. 2

    Toss with butter and reserved 2 tablespoons marinade, top with herbs, and serve.

Saute the shrimp

  1. 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and shake to remove any excess. Discard the marinade. Add 2 teaspoons of oil to the skillet, then saute 4-6 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque and just cooked through, flipping once.

  2. 2

    Toss with butter and reserved 2 tablespoons marinade, top with herbs, and serve.
