Asian honey Shrimp

This recipe is very similar to the Caramelized Potatoes one in the previous post. Once again I used 4 basic ingredients to prepare this dish, honey,  ginger, Shao Hsing wine and black rice vinegar.

Ingredients

  • 10-15 PC Wild Raw Zipperback Shrimp
  • 3 tbsp peanut oil
  • 5 cm piece of finely sliced ginger
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp shao hsing wine
  • 1 tsp black rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp light soy sauce
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 tsp corn starch
  • a few tbsp of water
  1. heat peanut oil and garlic in a wok until hot
  2. pour in wine, honey, soy sauce and rice vinegar
  3. once the liquid is simmering add the shrimp and ginger, cook for 2 minutes or until shrimp are tender
  4. in a small glass of water, add the corn starch and stir until combined
  5. add this mixture to the simmering liquid to thicken it up a little

Serve this dish hot on rice with some fried veg, you can also serve this as an appetizerer.
