How to Make Sweet And Spicy Garlic Shrimp

  1. Place shrimp in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch and salt. Toss gently to coat and let stand for 10 minutes.
  2. While shrimp marinates, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ketchup, honey, and chili garlic sauce.
  3. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add oil and swirl to coat.
  4. Add shrimp to the hot wok and stir-fry until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from wok and set aside.
  5. Add onion, garlic, and chilies (if using) to the wok and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour the sauce into the wok and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  7. Return the shrimp to the wok and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for another 30 seconds until heated through.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
