Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp ginger (grated)
- 2 tbsp red chili paste
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Toss them in a bowl with the cornstarch until evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and lightly crispy. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red chili paste, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, and sriracha to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce until fully coated and heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the shrimp to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
