Ingredients

  • 1 lb raw shrimp peeled and deveined, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha add more if desired
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Thaw shrimp under running water if necessary.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together sriracha sauce, honey, garlic, soy sauce and vinegar.
  • Add shrimp and half of the marinade into a zip-lock bag or container to marinate.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Once hot add shrimp (discard the marinade) in a single layer and add the rest of the sauce.
  • Stir fry 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque (flip half way, about 2 minutes each side).
  • Transfer shrimp to a serving plate.
  • Thicken the sauce and remove from heat. Add the shrimp back and coat thoroughly.
  • Garnish with green onion. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can replace vegetable oil with butter if you prefer buttered shrimp.
  • Marinating your shrimp for 30-60 minutes is ideal, but if you are in a rush, a 10-minute marinating will be a big difference.
