Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 450 g 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 –4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger paste or grated ginger
  • 4 tbsp honey
  • ¼ tsp chili flakes optional
  • 2 green onions sliced for garnish

Method
 

  1. Whisk soy sauce and cornstarch until smooth. Add shrimp and coat evenly.
  2. Heat oil in a large non-stick pan. Add garlic and ginger; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add shrimp in a single layer. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and curled into a loose C.
  4. Pour in honey and chili flakes; toss to coat shrimp and remove from heat.
  5. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp—remove as soon as they curl and turn pink. The velveting step with cornstarch ensures tenderness and helps glaze stick.
