Tender honey garlic shrimp piled onto crispy toasted baguette slices, ready in 20 minutes. This one-pan appetizer is perfect for any gathering and uses simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (medium or large, 31–40 count)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 French baguette, sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice baguette into ½-inch thick rounds (about 20-24 slices). Arrange on a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil on both sides. Bake for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
  2. Pat shrimp thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and let melt until foamy. Add shrimp in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, then flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pan. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the honey-soy-lemon mixture and stir. Let bubble gently for about 1 minute until slightly thickened.
  7. Return shrimp to the pan along with any accumulated juices. Toss to coat in sauce and cook for 30 seconds to warm through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Arrange toasted baguette slices on a serving platter. Place 1-2 shrimp on each slice. Spoon extra sauce from the pan over the top. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat shrimp very dry for best searing. Don’t overcook shrimp—they’re done when pink and curled into a loose C shape. Toast baguette just before serving to keep it crispy. For extra sauce, double the honey-soy-lemon mixture.
