# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing. Lightly dust with a small amount of Old Bay seasoning to start flavor layering.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter, then stir in honey and minced garlic. Cook for about one minute, stirring occasionally, until garlic is fragrant but not browned.

Arrange shrimp in a single layer in the skillet, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side until pink and slightly caramelized in the sauce. Flip and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes on the other side until shrimp are opaque and glazed.

Remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over shrimp to add brightness and color. Serve immediately, optionally with rice, pasta, or bread to absorb the sauce.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Do not overcrowd the pan during cooking to prevent steaming and to achieve a caramelized glaze.

Reheat leftovers gently over low heat to maintain texture and moistness.
