Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cups steamed white rice (optional, for serving)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, and honey. Set this sauce mixture aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat for 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and opaque.
Flip the shrimp and immediately pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Stir well to coat the shrimp evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the shrimp with scallions, cilantro, and sesame seeds (if using).
Serve immediately over steamed white rice or your preferred base, if desired.
