Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Peanut (or Canola) Oil
- 1 pound Fresh Or Thawed Shrimp, Peeled And Deveined (21/25 Size)
- 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil
- 2 teaspoons Minced Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Finely Grated Ginger (or Ginger Paste)
- 1 teaspoon Crusted Red Pepper Flakes (or More!)
- ½ cups Water
- ¼ cups Dark Brown Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce
- 2 Chopped Scallions
Preparation
Before you begin, have all your ingredients measured out and ready to go. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until it shimmers. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and cook in hot oil for 1 minute per side; remove to a plate.
Lower heat to medium and use the same skillet to heat the sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger paste, and crushed red pepper flakes; stir constantly until fragrant (a minute or so). Immediately add the water, dark brown sugar, Ssriracha, and soy sauce; stir well to combine. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens (about 3 minutes).
Return shrimp to skillet and toss well until heated through. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve over a bed of rice.
