Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined, 31/40)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Firecracker Sauce

  • ¼ cup chili-garlic sauce
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Make the sauce by whisking all of the sauce ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Add oil to a large skillet set over medium heat. Once shimmering, place shrimp in the hot skillet in a single layer and saute until cooked through. Cook approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Pour sauce into the skillet and toss with shrimp. Serve when sauce is heated through.

Notes

You can simmer the sauce to thicken it if desired.
I recommend serving this with white rice.
Optional: This can be garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds.
