Instructions
This recipe comes together really quickly. I highly recommend that you measure and chop everything before getting stared.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil. Once hot cook the shrimp, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from pan.
1 tablespoon olive oil,
1 lb. shrimp, raw, peeled, deveined
To the now empty pan add the green onion, garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute, while stirring so the garlic doesn't burn.
2 tablespoon fresh grated ginger,
3 garlic cloves,
½ cup green onion
Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, Sambal and sesame oil and bring to a boil. Let the sauce boil for about 1 minute.
1 cup chicken broth,
1 tablespoon soy sauce,
1 tablespoon Sambal oelek,
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Mix the water and cornstarch together. Slowly pour into the simmering sauce. It should thicken quickly.
2 tablespoon water,
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Add the shrimp back to the sauce and simmer for 1 minute.
Serve spooned over rice with lime wedges on the side.
Excellent serve with
Roasted Broccoli
on the side.
fresh lime wedges,
red pepper flakes,
