Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup chili-garlic sauce
2 tablespoons spicy chili oil
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon cayenne (use paprika for milder, or ghost pepper flakes for hotter!)
1 teaspoon lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 tablespoon olive oil
FOR GARNISH: Fresh chopped parsley (spicy chili flakes, sliced hot peppers)

Steps:

  • Whisk together the chili-garlic sauce, chili oil, sriracha, vinegar, honey, cayenne, lime juice and a bit of salt and pepper together in a small bowl until mixed. This is your firecracker shrimp marinade and glaze.
  • Add the shrimp to a large bowl and add half of firecracker shrimp marinade. Toss to evenly coat the shrimp. Refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes, though you can cook immediately if desired.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan to medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  • Brush on the remaining firecracker shrimp glaze. Reserve any leftover marinade/glaze for serving.
  • Garnish and serve!

Quick and easy to make, this is a hit for a dinner party or just a quick family dinner. Already cooked salad shrimp works great! I also occasionally substitute chicken for the shrimp for another great flavored dish!
