Provided by Chungah Rhee

Categories appetizer

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
Zest of 1 orange
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

In a large bowl, season shrimp with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in cornstarch and gently toss to combine. Working one at a time, dip the shrimp into the eggs. Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan. Add shrimp and cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; discard excess oil. To make the glaze, combine honey, orange juice, orange zest, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and ginger over medium low heat. Bring to a boil, simmering until thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Serve shrimp immediately, tossed or drizzled with honey mixture, garnished with orange zest, if desired.

Tips:

Use large shrimp for this recipe. Smaller shrimp will cook too quickly and become tough.
Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. Cook them in batches if necessary.
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven.
Serve the shrimp immediately over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Honey orange firecracker shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The shrimp are cooked in a sweet and spicy sauce that is sure to please everyone. Serve the shrimp over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
