Servings:

1 1/4 pound large shrimp (26–40 per pound), peeled and deveined (tail on or off)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or substitute paprika or crushed red pepper
Salt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Season the shrimp. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with cumin, coriander, Aleppo pepper, and a good pinch of salt.
Make the Honey-Garlic Sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, lemon juice, honey, and olive oil.
Marinate the shrimp. Add about 3 tablespoons of the sauce to the seasoned shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 12 hours for deeper flavor.
Cook the shrimp. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer and cook without moving for about 45 seconds, until pink on one side.
Flip and add the sauce. Flip the shrimp, pour in the rest of the sauce, and toss to coat. Cook for 1 to 2 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly into a glaze and the shrimp are just opaque and curled into a “C” shape.
Finish and serve. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and parsley. Serve immediately.
