How to Make Szechuan Shrimp
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
- Set aside the sauce.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 chopped green onions (white and light green parts) and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 1 pound of shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat with oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is bubbly and has thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish with the remaining chopped green onions (green parts) and serve immediately over hot steamed rice.
