Instructions
- Whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and chili garlic sauce. Pour 3 tablespoons of the marinade into a ziplock bag.
- Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Set aside.
- Add the shrimp to the ziplock bag, seal and massage to coat the shrimp. Alternatively, marinate the shrimp in a bowl. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- Whisk the cornstarch into the marinade in the saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Heat a large ceramic, nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer the shrimp to the skillet and discard the marinade in the bag.
- Cook for 1 minute. Flip the shrimp and add the thickened sauce. Cook until the shrimp is just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in the green onion. Serve over rice or quinoa.
