Creating Spicy Sriracha Honey Shrimp is a breeze if you follow these straightforward steps:
- Prepare Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together Sriracha, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate Shrimp: Add the cleaned shrimp to the marinade and let them sit for at least 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to infuse.
- Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook Shrimp: Once the oil is hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring to allow them to sear.
- Flip the Shrimp: Turn the shrimp over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
- Add Remaining Marinade: Pour any leftover marinade into the pan and let it bubble for about 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
- Enjoy!: Serve immediately over rice, in lettuce wraps, or with your choice of sides.
By following these steps, you’ll have a delicious, spicy entrée that is sure to satisfy!
