How to Cook Shrimp 3/4 of the Way Through (Then Finish in Sauce) for Zero Rubbery Texture

Chef Brian walks through a 15-minute honey garlic shrimp recipe built around smart technique: par-cooking shrimp, building a fond-based glaze with honey, garlic paste, tomato paste, and butter, then finishing the shrimp in the sauce. Served over white rice and topped with Pecorino Romano for a sweet-savory contrast. Great for weeknight dinners that taste like takeout.
