Ingredients
For the Sauce
- 3 tablespoons Gochujang
- 2 tablespoons honey or more
- 2 tablespoons water
- ½ lemon juiced
For Everything Else
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2-3 tablespoons oil
- 1 lb large shrimp peeled
Instructions
- Mix together the gochujang, honey, water, and lemon and set aside.
- Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cornstarch.
- Toss the shrimp with the seasoned cornstarch until the shrimp are fully coated.
- In a large skillet, heat up oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer in the skillet. You may need to do this in batches as you don’t want to overcrowd the pan. Pan fry until crispy and golden, around 6 to 8 minutes, flipping at the half way mark. Repeat until the shrimps are all cooked.
- Wipe down the skillet and add the shrimp back in over low heat. Add the sauce and toss until well combined. Let the sauce cook for 2 to 3 minutes before removing it from the heat.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
