In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Carefully pour in the Hennessy and allow it to cook down for about 2-3 minutes, letting the alcohol burn off.
Stir in the honey, lemon juice, and Cajun seasoning (if using). Simmer the sauce for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes syrupy.
Combine the shrimp and sauce:
Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the buttery sauce. Let them cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring they’re fully coated in the sauce.
Garnish and serve:
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and red pepper flakes (if using) on top.
Serve the Henny butter shrimp over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Enjoy!
This dish is flavorful, rich, and just a little bit indulgent thanks to the Hennessy. It’s sure to impress your guests or make any dinner feel extra special. Let me know how it turns out!
