Ingredients:
– 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– dried herbs (thyme) (optional)
– Optional: chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. This helps them crisp up better when frying.
2. Season the Flour: In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Coat the Shrimp: Dredge each shrimp in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
4. Fry the Shrimp: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Carefully add the shrimp to the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the oil and set aside on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
5. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil and dried herbs (if using )
6. Combine Shrimp and Sauce: Add the fried shrimp to the sauce and toss gently to coat evenly.
7. Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions (optional) and serve immediately.
