Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp Hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 Scallions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and sesame oil to create the glaze.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink and slightly golden.
Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fully cooked but not overdone. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
Pour the prepared glaze into the skillet and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until it slightly thickens.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the glaze.
Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
