Ingredients
Scale
For the Shrimp:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
- 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons chili crisp (plus more for serving)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Serving:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- sesame seeds and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Finish the Dish: Reduce heat to low and stir in the chili crisp, tossing until shrimp are evenly coated and glossy. Remove from heat and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges. Serve immediately over rice, noodles, or as an appetizer.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of chili crisp to suit your spice preference.
- This recipe works great with frozen shrimp (thawed and patted dry).
