We make this regularly using a Fire Disk cooker (it’s a big wok set on medium/high heat), but a cooktop or skillet works, too.

Prepare & clean the shrimp.

Toss shrimp into a pan or skillet, stirring and turning the shrimp.

Cook for 3-4 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp.

EZ Sourdough-Egg & Bacon Breakfast
(3 servings)

Ingredients:

6 slices of bacon

2 tablespoons butter (divided)

3 fresh eggs

3 large slices of sourdough bread

2 tablespoons Wild Honey Box Creamy Raspberry honey

Cook bacon – drain and set aside.

Melt butter, crack 3 eggs into skillet, and cook gently on low-med heat.

Remove eggs from pan when done to your liking and set aside.

Lay the sourdough slices with remaining butter in the pan. Spread Wild Honey Box creamy raspberry honey on the untoasted side of the sourdough, then assemble the sandwiches by adding 2 slices of bacon and one egg, and top with the other half of the sliced sourdough.

This makes 3 hearty/ half breakfast sandwiches.

The savory and hearty bacon and egg, coupled with the sweet raspberry creamed honey, is amazing! It’s very simple and very good!

Wild Honey Box’s Favorite Honey Lemonade photo

Wild Honey Box’s Favorite Honey Lemonade

Ingredients:

1/4 cup Wild Honey Box honey (we use Huajiila or Sweet Clover honey)

1/2 cup boiled water

1/2 cup lemon juice from 3 to 4 lemons  (If you can find Meyer lemons, they’re the best )

1-1/2 cups cold water

Instructions:

In a heat-safe bowl or measuring cup, mix the honey and boiled water well using a whisk. The honey will dissolve quickly in the warm water.

In a large mason jar or pitcher, add the honey mixture, along with the lemon juice and remaining cold water. Stir well to combine, or secure a lid on the jar and shake well. Taste and adjust any flavoring as needed.

Serve this lemonade immediately into a glass of ice, or store it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. This recipe makes roughly 4 small glasses (about 2/3 cup each before you pour it over ice), so feel free to double or triple this recipe if you need to serve a crowd. You can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
