Report
General Tso's Shrimp is prepared in one skillet with a sauce made from hoisin, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, and rice vinegar, accented by ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. The shrimp are cooked quickly and coated in a thick, slightly sweet, and mildly spicy glaze, then garnished with sesame seeds and green onions, making for a flavorful and easy seafood dish.
Description
The recipe for General Tso's Shrimp uses peeled, deveined shrimp cooked in a single skillet for convenience. Aromatics like garlic and fresh ginger are sautéed briefly in sesame oil before adding the shrimp. The sauce, combining hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, rice vinegar, water, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch, is whisked separately then poured over the shrimp to create a glossy coating.
As the sauce thickens over high heat, it clings to the shrimp while cooking them through. The dish finishes with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions, adding texture and a subtle crunch. It can be served immediately as a main dish over rice or noodles.
