GATHER YOUR INGREDIENTS
1 ½ pounds extra-large shrimp (21 to 25 per pound), peeled and deveined, tails
left on

½ teaspoon kosher salt

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons honey

¾ teaspoon chili powder

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 scallions, sliced thin

Lemon wedges

KEY EQUIPMENT

The Best Rimmed Baking Sheets

The Best Measuring Spoons

*BEFORE YOU BEGIN


We prefer untreated shrimp; if yours are already treated with salt or additives such
as sodium tripolyphosphate, skip the salting in step 1. This recipe was developed
with Diamond Crystal kosher salt. If you’re using Morton, which is denser, use a
little less than ½ teaspoon.

INSTRUCTIONS

Toss shrimp and salt together in bowl; set aside and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes.

Combine butter and honey in small bowl. Cover and microwave until butter is
melted, 30 to 60 seconds. Add chili powder and cayenne and stir to combine. Let
cool slightly, about 5 minutes. While mixture cools, adjust oven rack 4 inches
from broiler element and heat broiler. Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum
foil and set wire rack in sheet.

Spread out shrimp on large plate or cutting board and pat dry with paper towels.
Return to bowl and pour butter mixture over shrimp. Toss until shrimp are
thoroughly and evenly coated, including where they are split from deveining (it’s
OK if butter starts to solidify). Arrange shrimp in single layer on prepared rack.

Broil until shrimp are opaque throughout and beginning to lightly char in spots, 3
to 5 minutes. Transfer shrimp to serving platter; sprinkle with scallions; and
serve, passing lemon wedges separately.
