Ingredients
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons saracha sauce
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- Teaspoon of finely chopped ginger
- Tablespoon chopped red chili
- 1/4 cup sesame seed
- coarse salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more if needed
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 scallions thinly sliced
Directions
In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, cornstarch, sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until frothy. Add shrimp, and toss to coat.
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Working in two or three batches, cook shrimp until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add more oil to skillet if necessary for remaining batches. Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Add orange juice, zest, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, chili and sugar.
Boil over high heat until syrupy and reduced to about 1/3 cup, 4 to 5 minutes. Return shrimp to skillet add scallions, and cook until heated through and coated with sauce, about 1 minute finish with some more scallions.
I always put a little chili sesame oil on it and eat it with a little brown rice.
Enjoy!
