Ingredients
2lbthawed or fresh raw shrimp(cleaned/peeled/deveined)
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.
Heat a large pan or skillet to medium-high and melt your butter. Oil can be used if preferred.
Cook shrimp on each side for about 1-2 minutes until shrimp start to curl but are still a bit under-done. 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.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onion. For extra fiery shrimp you can even add additional crushed red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
Notes
Gluten-Free friends, simply choose GF Tamari or your favorite wheat-free soy sauce - there are lots on the market to choose from. No sweet chili sauce? No problem! Simply replace it with an extra 2 TBSP of honey.Nutrition Facts below are estimated using an online recipe nutrition calculator. Adjust as needed and enjoy!
