Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the shrimp evenly with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic. Set the sauce mixture aside.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. This will serve as a thickening agent for the sauce later.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet, spreading them out in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the orange pineapple sauce mixture. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once the sauce begins to bubble, whisk in the cornstarch-water mixture. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss the shrimp in the sauce to coat them evenly. Cook for an additional minute to warm the shrimp.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the dish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, quinoa, or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
