Shrimp is one of my go-to proteins at home. It’s quick to cook and so versatile. This honey butter shrimp is great to set with the rest of the salatim as friends arrive or for an easy dinner for just us. The honey and saffron in Mishmish work perfectly with the shrimp and fresh butter, finished with a squeeze of lemon juice.
