How to prepare Lime, honey, and poppy seed shrimp skewers
To prepare the shrimp skewers with lime, honey, and poppy seeds, start by cleaning the shrimp: remove the heads from the crustaceans 1 and remove the carapace (shell) 2. Then, slice the limes 3
Thread four shrimp onto each skewer, alternating them with a slice of lime (thus 4 shrimp and 3 lime slices per skewer for a total of 8 skewers) (4-5). Meanwhile, heat a dash of oil in a pan 6
and when it is hot, sauté the skewers briefly, turning them 7 seconds per side, add the honey, and caramelize well on both sides 8. Remove the skewers from the heat and place them on a large dish, sprinkle them with poppy seeds on both sides 9, and keep them warm.
Squeeze the juice from two limes 10 and in the pan where you browned the skewers, add the lime juice to the cooking juices 11 and let it reduce for a moment. Then dissolve the cornstarch in water 12.
and pour it into the pan 13 along with the white wine 14, stirring until the liquid has a creamy appearance. Add a tablespoon of granulated sugar 15
and one of brown sugar 16. Mix everything with a wooden spoon and let it thicken. Then pour the creamy mixture over the shrimp skewers with lime, honey, and poppy seeds 17 and serve them!
