Shrimp in Sake Garlic Sauce
Ingredients:
– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1/4 cup sake
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
– 2 green onions, thinly sliced
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons water
– Sesame seeds (for garnish)
– Cooked white rice (for serving)
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the sake, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine and set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil to the pan and then add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the sauce mixture and bring it to a simmer. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
4. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat the shrimp evenly with the sauce. Allow the shrimp to cook in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
