Instructions
- Melt the butter and sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar; cook until the sauce is thick and foamy, about 1 – 1 ½ minutes. Stir in the salt and pepper. Transfer the sauce to a bowl; do not wipe out the skillet.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook over medium-high heat for about 1 minute per side, or just until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Pour the sauce over the shrimp. Cook for about 1 more minute, stirring to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
- Serve immediately; garnish with desired toppings and additional soy sauce or hot sauce.
Notes
- The total cooking time will vary depending on the size of your shrimp. You know the shrimp are done when they turn pink and opaque. It's fine if they're still a little bit translucent in the center when you add the sauce back to the pan, since the shrimp will continue to cook in the skillet for another minute or so. Just be careful that you don't overcook the shrimp or they will become tough and rubbery.
- For a thicker sauce, let it cook an extra minute or so, but remember -- the sauce will continue to thicken slightly as it cools in the bowl. Since there is no cornstarch in the sauce, it will not be quite as thick as other Asian sauces. Instead, it's more like a sweet butter glaze. If you prefer a very thick sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry by mixing a small amount of cornstarch with an equal amount of cold water, stirring that into the sauce until it reaches the desired consistency.
