Don't let some of the ingredients fool you - this spicy shrimp makes a simple, impressive dish, which I usually make for company. For more or less heat, adjust amount of red pepper. Serve over hot steamed rice.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup sliced green onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces cooked shrimp, tails removed
Directions:
1. In a bowl, stir together water, ketchup, soy sauce, cornstarch, honey, crushed red pepper, and ground ginger.
2. Set aside.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Stir in green onions and garlic; cook 30 seconds.
5. Stir in shrimp, and toss to coat with oil.
6. Stir in sauce.
7. Cook and stir until sauce is bubbly and thickened.
