This is a dish that impresses, one you want your guests to see and taste. We use honey three ways here: We add it to the brine so the meat absorbs some sweetness, we toss it with the brined shrimp so its sugars allow the shrimp to develop a good char without overcooking, and we drizzle it over the finished dish for depth

• 1 1/2 pounds unpeeled large shrimp
• 1 cup boiling water
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
