Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha or hot sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (toasted, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, honey, lime juice, and red chili flakes. Whisk until well blended to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour for stronger flavor).
Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for 5 minutes before cooking.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and slightly charred.
Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, ensuring they are fully cooked and opaque.
Transfer the shrimp to a serving plate and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, noodles, or as an appetizer.
