Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and red chili flakes. Set this sauce aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp. Stir well to coat all the shrimp in the sauce.
Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the shrimp.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped green onions over the shrimp.
Transfer the chili shrimp to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, noodles, or on its own. Enjoy!
