- Blend the garlic, olive oil, 2 T seasoning mix, lemon juice, honey, and soy sauce in a bowl.
- Add the shrimp and the chopped parsley to the mixture and toss well to coat.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Place shrimp with the marinade in a large, heavy skillet (large enough to fit shrimp in a single layer) and place in oven.
- In about 2 to 3 minutes, shake the pan to ensure even cooking and repeat in another 2 to 3 minutes.
- At this point the mixture should be bubbling and the shrimp will be turning opaque.
- Transfer the pan to a stove top, over medium heat and begin adding the butter in 1 to 2 T increments, shaking the pan the entire time, allowing the butter to emulsify into the mixture before adding any more butter.
- This process should take about 4 to 5 minutes.
- When completed, pour onto a platter and serve immediately with plenty of good, crispy bread you will need it to sop up the delicious sauce.
