Follow The Directions

01

Step

Season both sides of shrimp with garlic powder and salt, and set aside. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a bowl, whisk together gochujang, honey, sesame oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and ginger until well combined. Set aside. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes, flipping half way through; do not overcook. Remove shrimp from the pan. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Reduce temperature to low, and add sauce to skillet. Whisk water and cornstarch together in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir slurry into the sauce until well combined. Keep cooking, stirring constantly, until the sauce starts to slightly thicken, about 1 minute. Add shrimp back into the skillet and stir until coated and just heated through. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve hot. (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try marinating the shrimp in the gochujang mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of gochujang based on your spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste.
Serve over rice or noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.

  • Garnet Bartoletti

    I used less gochujang because I don't like too much spice, and it was still delicious.
