Orange Peel Shrimp
Orange Peel Shrimp features raw shrimp coated in cornstarch and pan-fried until pink and tender. It’s tossed in a fragrant sauce made with garlic, green onions, orange zest, tomato sauce, orange juice, soy sauce, and optional sriracha for heat. The combination yields a slightly sweet, tangy, and mildly spicy dish with a glossy coating and zesty citrus notes.
