Homemade Hot & Spicy Shrimp (乾燒明蝦)

The traditional recipe of hot and spicy shrimp (chili shrimp) is using head-on and shell-on shrimp, but I made it using head-off and shell-off in my own version.

1. Peeled and devein Shrimp. Seasoned with salt & pepper, cornstarch and olive oil.
2. Heat up cooking pan (medium), add 1 Tbsp of olive oil and slightly pan-seared the shrimp on both side for 30 seconds. Take it out of the pan.
3. Same pan, add 2 Tbsp olive oil, 2 Tbsp of minced garlic, 2 Tbsp of chopped onion, 1 Tbsp of soy sauce, 1 Tbsp of cooking wine, 1 Tbsp of chili sauce/paste, 3 Tbsp of ketchup, 1 Tbsp of sugar. Medium heat cook to boil.
4. Add corn starch mix with water to thicken the sauce, then add shrimp (should be ready in less than a minute, don’t overcooked the shrimp)
5. Add 1 tbsp of sesame oil before serving.
