Honey Garlic Shrimp

1 stick of butter
8 Tablespoons honey 
The juice of one lemon
2 tablespoons soy sauce 
6 teaspoons of minced garlic
Approximately 40–45 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon water
Salt to season
Fresh, chopped parsley, for garnish 

Melt butter in a large skillet over low heat. Whisk in the honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, and garlic.  increase heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer; cooking for 30 seconds to one minute.  Remove half of this sauce to a small bowl to save for finishing the recipe at the end. 

Add half of the shrimp to the skillet, in a single layer, and gently simmer for one to two minutes just until the shrimp turn pink. Flip the shrimp over and simmer for one to two more minutes. The shrimp should now be pink and cooked all the way through. (Do NOT overcook the shrimp or they will be rubbery!) Remove to a plate and cook the other half of the shrimp for one to two minutes on each side just until they become pinkish . Immediately remove the second batch of shrimp to the plate.

Add the reserved honey/garlic sauce to the skillet, and bring back to a gentle simmer. Stir together the cornstarch and water. Once the sauce is bubbling, stir in the cornstarch slurry and whisk until it is thickened. Add all of the cooked shrimp back into the skillet, season with a few pinches of salt, and toss gently to coat with the honey garlic sauce. Remove to a serving plate and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
