Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.5 cup Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 Red bell pepper (sliced)
- 2 Green onions (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 cups Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, and rice vinegar to make the spicy orange sauce. Set aside.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, until they are just pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced red bell pepper. Stir fry for 2 minutes until the pepper is tender-crisp.
Pour the orange sauce mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles.
