Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Marinate the shrimp: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, and sriracha. Add the shrimp and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the dredging mixture: In another bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. This mixture will create the perfect crunch for your shrimp, so make sure it’s well blended.
- Dredge the shrimp: Take the marinated shrimp out of the bowl and dredge them in the flour-cornstarch mixture, coating well.
- Fry until golden brown: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp in batches until they are golden brown and crispy—about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Notes
For a healthier alternative, consider baking the shrimp at 400°F (200°C) until cooked through and crispy.
