For the Shrimp
- 1 pound large raw shrimp, shelled and de-veined (tail-on or tail-off)
- 4 tablespoons corn starch (or arrowroot)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil For the Sauce
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (we use this one)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Dry the shrimp completely and toss with the starch until evenly coated.
- Step 2: Add the 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to a wide frying pan over medium-high heat. Only once the oil is sizzling hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. If all the shrimp do not fit in the pan, then cook them in 2 batches (add extra oil to the pan as needed). Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes on one side. Flip and cook another 1 minute. Set a timer to avoid overcooking. Set aside on a paper-towel lined plate when done.
- Step 3: Mix together the sriracha and honey. Heat the frying pan to medium-high heat. Add the 1 teaspoon of cooking oil and the garlic. Cook for 15 seconds, then add the honey mixture, optional basil, and shrimp. Toss to coat everything in the sauce.
- Serve: This is best enjoyed immediately.
