Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp sesame oil + more to cook the shrimp
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp tapioca flour or arrowroot starch + 1/4 cup hot water (this thickens the sauce)
  • Veggies + rice to serve

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk together all ingredients for the sauce except the tapioca flour + water mixture.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of sesame oil to coat the pan. Add in your shrimp and cook for a few minutes each side until it turns pink and is no longer translucent inside.

  3. 3

    Once the shrimp is just cooked, add the sauce mixture + flour mixture to the pan. Bring to a simmer until the sauce has thickened.

  4. 4

    I used the same pan to saute some green beans with soy sauce and sriracha! Serve with brown rice.
