For even more flavor, try adding in some red pepper flakes for heat or fresh lime juice for zest!

If you like cilantro, lime and red pepper flakes, try out this variation of cilantro lime honey garlic shrimp skillet!

This recipe sears better in a cast iron pan and may not perform as well with caramelized bits in non-stick pans.
