• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• Juice of 2 limes
• 2 teaspoons cumin

1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the guava jelly, ketchup, minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, seasonings, and cornstarch. Set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the hot skillet and cook until opaque, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
3. Pour the combined sauce ingredients into the hot pan. Allow to boil and then reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
