  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Drizzle the hot honey over the shrimp in the last minute of cooking, tossing to coat.
