Sweet & Spicy Shrimp Stir-Fry

Today’s Recipe: Spicy Honey Glazed Shrimp Stir-Fry

Welcome, foodie friends! Today, I’m excited to share with you a dish that combines the sweetness of honey with the kick of spicy shrimp in a delightful stir-fry. This recipe is perfect for those nights when you’re craving something quick, flavorful, and a bit adventurous.

Ingredients:

• 250g shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp honey
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• Cooked rice, for serving

Kitchen Tools:

• wok
• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• garlic press
• grater
• measuring spoons

To start, heat the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Next, toss in the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes.

Push the shrimp to one side of the wok and add the sliced bell pepper and chopped onion. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil. Pour this sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Let the mixture simmer for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Once everything is cooked through and the sauce is glossy, it’s time to serve! Spoon the spicy honey glazed shrimp stir-fry over a bed of cooked rice and garnish with some fresh cilantro or sliced green onions for an extra pop of flavor.

This dish yields about 4 servings, with each serving weighing approximately 200g. One serving of this spicy honey glazed shrimp stir-fry is around 300 calories.

Clever Tip:

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a squeeze of lime juice over the finished dish just before serving. The acidity will balance out the sweetness of the honey and the heat of the sriracha perfectly!
