Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the teriyaki sauce.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook the sauce for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a glossy consistency.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat them in the thickened teriyaki sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat the shrimp through.
Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve hot over steamed rice or with your choice of vegetables. Enjoy!
