Preparation

Step 1

Place the cleaned shrimp in a bowl and set aside.

Combine the honey, soy sauce, garlic and ginger in a small bowl and pour half over the shrimp (reserve the other half for later), stir the shrimp to coat, cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile heat a large skillet (I prefer cast iron) over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt. Once melted add in the asparagus, bell pepper and onion and sauté until crisp-tender and slightly charred (about 4 minutes). Remove from skillet to a plate to keep warm.

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and then add the shrimp (discard any used marinade). Cook shrimp about 1 minute per side, or until caramelized and cooked through. Quickly add the veggies and reserved sauce to the skillet and heat through.
Serve over hot cooked rice if desired.

Notes:
Feel free to substitute the shrimp with chicken or steak. Just make sure to cook until safe to eat.
