Crunchy Sweet Blackened Shrimp

My mom and co-workers love when I make this and share. You can make as much or as little as you want and add or reduce ingredients as you see fit for your taste. It's the butter, balsamic vinegar, and honey that makes this blackened shrimp dish! Serve with rice or over fettuccine Alfredo.
