Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 stick butter, melted
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 2 lbs extra large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and patted dry
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sriracha, or hot sauce of your choice
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, melted butter, paprika, cayenne, salt, pepper, and garlic. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Divide onto two large baking sheets and roast for 6-8 minutes, until shrimp are pink and cooked through. They will continue to cook as they rest or sit on the hot sheet pan, so be careful not to overcook.
  • Transfer to a platter and garnish with green onions and jalapeño slices. Make a quick sauce by stirring together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime zest. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 the lime over the shrimp and add the remaining lime juice to the sauce.
