Instructions
- Whisk the soy sauce, garlic, ginger powder, white pepper, honey, and chili paste (if using) in a small bowl.
- Warm the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 1 minute per side. (We just want to get some color on the shrimp here—it doesn’t need to be fully cooked on the inside just yet!)
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside. Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet, and let it come to a simmer over medium heat.
- Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Slowly mix this into the heated sauce, and let it all simmer together until you have a thick, sticky sauce, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Toss the shrimp back into the pan. Cook until the shrimp is opaque and fully cooked, about 3 minutes more. Garnish with the sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
