Hot and Spicy Shrimp (Jalapeño Pepper Shrimp)
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb (230g) shrimp
- 1/2 tbsp (4g) cornstarch
Sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 tsp (12g) sesame oil, divided
- 1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
- 2 tsp (7g) brown sugar
- 1 tbsp water
Aromatics
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 large (80g) Jalapeños, sliced
- 3 stalks scallions, sliced
Instructions
- Clean and rinse your shrimp, and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle cornstarch over shrimp, and stir to lightly coat.
- Set a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat, and add 2 tsp of sesame oil.
- Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until plump and cooked through.
- While shrimp is cooking, make your sauce. Add Chinese cooking wine, soy sauce, brown sugar and water to a small bowl and stir until brown sugar is disolved. (Please note: Hot and Spicy shrimp is a dry stir fry. If you prefer to have a lot of sauce to drizzle over your rice, you can double the sauce ingredients!)
- Once shrimp is cooked through, remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same nonstick pan, add another 2 tsp of sesame oil.
- Once oil is hot, add sliced garlic, jalapeños and scallions. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until jalapeños start to soften, and garlic is lightly browned and fragrant.
- Add shrimp back to pan, and pour on the sauce.
- Cook for 1 minute until sauce thickens and coats the shrimp.
- Serve immediately with cooked jasmine rice, cauliflower rice, or steamed vegetables.
