How to Make Drea's Spicy Orange Shrimp

  1. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites and cornstarch until smooth. Stir in sesame seeds, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Once the oil is shimmering, add half of the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 2 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
  6. Remove cooked shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels and repeat with remaining shrimp and oil.
  7. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel if needed.
  8. Add orange juice and soy sauce to the skillet and increase heat to high. Bring to a boil.
  9. Stir in red pepper flakes and sugar. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly and reduced by about half (approximately 2-3 minutes).
  10. Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Heat through.
  11. Stir in green onions.
  12. Serve immediately over rice.
