Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Frank's
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt
1 1/4 pounds peeled and deveined small shrimp, tails removed
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, grated
3 cups cooked basmati rice
