Chili Crisp Shrimp Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by marinating peeled and deveined large shrimp in a mixture of chili crisp, soy sauce, sriracha (or alternative chili sauces), honey, and freshly grated ginger to infuse heat, sweetness, and aromatic spice. After marinating for 15 minutes, the garlic is briefly sautéed in vegetable oil until fragrant.
The shrimp are cooked in a single layer over medium-high heat, about two to three minutes per side, until they turn pink and are cooked through. Off heat, the shrimp are tossed with additional chili crisp to deepen the flavor profile. The shrimp develop a glistening coat with a spicy crunch from the chili crisp.
Garnishes such as chopped green onion or fresh cilantro add brightness and color. This dish pairs well as a flavorful protein topping over steamed rice or noodles or can be served on its own. Vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas can be sautéed with the garlic for a more complete meal.
