My mom and co-workers love when I make this and share. You can make as much or as little as you want and add or reduce ingredients as you see fit for your taste. It's the butter, balsamic vinegar, and honey that makes this blackened shrimp dish! Serve with rice or over fettuccine Alfredo.

I wasn't able to achieve the crunch part without thinking the sauce my burn or overcook the shrimp. However, the flavors here were amazing! I used dry mustard. Maybe I will try again with regular mustard. I served it with cauliflower rice.

Realistically, the shrimp is not crunchy it's cooked to the point of being tough. However, the sauce has a very good flavor.
The next time I cook this dish I will add all the ingredients for the
sauce and reduce it then add the shrimp.

Made exactly as written. I thaw the shrimp first. It is nice and sweet.
