Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha or other hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and toss them in a bowl with the cornstarch until well coated. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, and orange zest to make the spicy orange sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add half of the shrimp, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and lightly crispy. Remove the shrimp and repeat with the remaining oil and shrimp. Set cooked shrimp aside.
In the same skillet, add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the spicy orange sauce into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until the shrimp are heated through.
Transfer the stir-fried shrimp to a serving dish and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
