Notes
Feel free to adjust the amount of Old Bay seasoning based on your preference for spiciness. You can also add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a citrusy twist.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) to the honey butter mixture before adding the shrimp.
