This sweet and garlicky skillet recipe is one of Ree Drummond’s all-time favourite 16-minute meals, and it’s easy to see why! The Pioneer Woman often enjoys this simple dish as a quick option when dining solo as it’s packed with flavour and zero-fuss.
Ree starts with a sticky-sweet glaze made of sriracha sauce, honey and crushed garlic and cooks up the shrimp in minutes. She serves it on a bed of wilted garlic spinach with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a bright finish.

directions
Special equipment: 4 metal skewers
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and a large skillet over medium heat.
For the shrimp: In a small bowl, mix together the honey, sriracha, crushed red pepper, garlic, lime zest and juice and 1 Tbsp of the parsley. Set the glaze aside.
Thread the shrimp onto 4 metal skewers, 5 shrimp per skewer. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place on the grill pan and cook for 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, brush the top with the glaze and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Flip the glazed side down, brush the top with the glaze and cook for an additional minute. Flip, glaze and cook until the shrimp are cooked through, up to an additional minute per side. Remove from the grill and drizzle with any remaining glaze.
For the spinach: Meanwhile, heat the oil in the skillet and add the spinach and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
Make a bed with the spinach on a serving platter. Top with the shrimp skewers and garnish with the remaining parsley.
