Ingredients
- 1 pound large prawns peeled and deveined (tails on)
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Pat the prawns dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.

- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and slightly bubbly.
- Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the prawns to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they start turning pink.
- Pour the honey Sriracha mixture into the pan and let it bubble and reduce for 2-3 minutes, while occasionally turning the prawns to coat them evenly.
