Ingredients:

• 1 lb Large Shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail on or off)
• 1/4 cup Cornstarch (or potato starch for extra crispiness)
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 2-3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (or other high-heat oil)

For the Honey Glaze:

• 1/4 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (use low-sodium if preferred)
• 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh Ginger, grated (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional, for heat)

Equipment:

• Medium bowl
• Whisk
• Large skillet or wok
• Measuring cups and spoons

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the peeled and deveined shrimp thoroughly dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for crispiness. In a medium bowl, toss the dry shrimp with the cornstarch, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
2. Make the Honey Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger (if using), and red pepper flakes (if using). Set the glaze aside.
3. Cook the Shrimp: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the coated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once, until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and crispy on the edges. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
4. Combine with Glaze: Reduce the heat to low. Pour the prepared honey glaze over the cooked shrimp in the skillet. Gently toss the shrimp to coat them evenly in the glaze. The glaze will thicken quickly as it heats.
5. Serve: Remove from heat immediately to prevent the glaze from becoming too thick or the shrimp from overcooking. Serve the crispy honey-glazed shrimp hot over rice, noodles, or vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
