Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.333 cup hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 stalks green onions, finely sliced
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, prepare the glaze by whisking together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.

Step 2

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the shrimp start to turn pink on one side.

Step 4

Flip the shrimp and pour the prepared hoisin glaze over them. Stir well to coat the shrimp evenly in the sauce.

Step 5

Reduce the heat slightly and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked and the glaze thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the shrimp with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
