Ingredients

Shrimp1.5 lbs
Sriracha3 tbsp
Honey2 tbsp
Garlic2 cloves
Ginger1 tbsp
Green onion3 stalks
Jasmine rice2 cups cooked

Method

1

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.

2

In a small bowl, whisk together sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and red pepper flakes; set glaze aside.

3

Slice bell pepper into strips. Slice green onions, separating white and light-green parts from dark-green parts.

4

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

5

Working in batches, lightly coat shrimp in flour mixture, tapping off excess. Fry 1.5–2 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

6

Pour glaze into the same skillet over medium heat and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

7

Add bell pepper strips and white parts of green onion; sauté 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.

8

Return shrimp to the skillet, toss to coat with glaze, and cook 1 minute until warmed through.

9

Divide cooked grain or noodles among bowls. Top with firecracker shrimp and vegetables. Garnish with dark-green onion slices and sesame seeds.
