Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 lb Great Value™ Frozen Raw Large Peeled and Deveined Tail-Off Shrimp, defrosted, peeled, and deveined
2 teaspoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
¼ cup mango juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced into matchsticks

1 cup snow pea
2 tablespoons water
1 cup fresh thai basil
rice, cooked
1 red fresno chile, thinly sliced
½ cup roasted cashew, chopped
null, optional

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss the Great Value™ Frozen Raw Large Peeled and Deveined Tail-Off Shrimp with the cornstarch, red pepper flakes, salt, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce until evenly coated.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, and mango juice until well combined.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or nonstick skillet over high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the ginger, diced Fresno chile, and scallions, and cook, stirring frequently, until the scallions are starting to brown, about 2 minutes.

  • Serve the shrimp over rice and top with sliced Fresno chile, chopped cashews, and a drizzle of sriracha, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To devein shrimp easily, use a pair of kitchen shears to cut along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Then, use your fingers to pull out the vein.
  • If you don't have mirin, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dry sherry and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  • If you don't have sake, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dry white wine.
  • To make the sauce thicker, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to the sauce and stir until thickened.
  • Serve the shrimp with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
