Honey Tips
How Honey is Made
To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.
Directions
In large saucepan melt butter. Add shrimp shells (not shrimp), onion, garlic, jalapeno, and ginger. Cook over low heat about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chicken broth, bring to a simmer and cook 15 minutes.
Strain the shrimp broth into a large bowl. Discard shells, return broth to the pot, add tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes.
While broth is cooking, process coconut milk, peanut butter and honey in a blender until smooth. Add to hot broth along with uncooked shrimp, lime juice and cilantro. Simmer until shrimp just turn pink, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
To serve, ladle into bowls and serve with lime wedges.
