Print Recipe
1 lb. jumbo shrimp deveined & tail on 1 tablespoon of sesame oil 2 tablespoons of honey 1 teaspoon of cornstarch ½ teaspoon of salt 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet. Add the shrimp and salt to the pan and cook just until the tails start to curl.
Mix the soy sauce, honey and cornstarch together in a small bowl and pour it over the shrimp.
Cook until the shrimp have turned pink and have curled up a bit.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for 3-4 minutes to let the sauce thicken a bit.
Serve over some white rice and garnish with fresh spring onions, crushed cashews and sesame seeds.
Make this dish gluten-free by substituting the soy sauce for tamari.
If using frozen shrimp, be sure to defrost them thoroughly before cooking.
Take care not to overcook the shrimp or they can become rubbery.
This dish is best served as soon as it's made, but leftovers will keep for 3 days in the fridge and can be reheated in a skillet.
