Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar to create the teriyaki sauce base.

Step 2

In another small bowl, combine cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Set both mixtures aside.

Step 3

Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce heat to medium and pour the teriyaki sauce base into the skillet. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the teriyaki sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the shrimp to absorb the flavors.

Step 8

Drizzle the sesame oil over the shrimp and give it a final stir.

Step 9

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot alongside steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
