Instructions
- For rice, cook via package instructions. This typically takes about 20 minutes so start rice first. You can also use noodles, quinoa, or caulflower rice as your base.
- Clean and peel shrimp, defrosting if needed. Lately we’ve been buying frozen, deveined, easy-peel shrimp. All I have to do is defrost, peel, and cook! You can also buy your shrimp already peeled if you’d like! Season shrimp with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Whisk together sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat a large pan or skillet to medium-high with oil of choice.
- Cook shrimp on each side for about 1-2 minutes until shrimp start to curl but are still a bit under-done. After flipping shrimp to second side, add red pepper flakes (to taste, based on spice preference) and half the green onion.
- Add your sauce and cook for an additional minute or until the shrimp are cooked through. This will vary a bit based on the size you choose, so look for curled, opaque shrimp and you’re good to go!
- For an extra thick sauce, remove and plate your shrimp, allowing the sauce some extra simmer time. Keep an eye on it as it reduces, stirring if needed. Remove from heat once thickened and pour over shrimp. For speedier thickening, you can also whisk 1/2-1 tsp corn startch in 1/2-1 tsp cold water and add it to the sauce to thicken.
- Serve atop cooked rice (or noodles, quinoa cauliflower rice, etc...) with veggies of choice. Garnish with remaining chopped green onion. For extra fiery shrimp you can even add additional crushed red pepper flakes or a drizzle of Sriracha chili sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- The 20 minute cook time above is for those making rice, if using alternate grains for your bowl base, cook time will be much faster!
- Gluten-Free friends, simply choose GF Tamari or your favorite wheat-free soy sauce – there are lots on the market to choose from.
