Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons chili crisp with oil
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- Sliced green onions for garnish
- Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp. Pat the shrimp dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure they sear properly. Set aside.
- Make the sauce mixture. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Heat the skillet and cook garlic. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the neutral oil and butter. When the butter melts and starts bubbling, add the minced garlic. Stir constantly and cook for about 30 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
- Cook the shrimp. Add the shrimp in a single layer to the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Add chili crisp and sauce. Spoon the chili crisp over the shrimp in the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce mixture. Toss everything together gently to coat the shrimp evenly.
- Finish cooking. Allow the shrimp to cook for an additional 30 to 60 seconds so the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the shrimp.
- Garnish and serve. Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the shrimp with sliced green onions and optional sesame seeds. Serve immediately for best flavor.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of chili crisp to control the spiciness according to your taste.
- This dish pairs excellently with steamed rice, noodles, or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Use high-quality chili crisp for the best flavor and texture experience.
