All you need are a handful of ingredients to make this crispy pan-fried Gochujang Shrimp! Bright, sweet, and spicy, this flavourful shrimp recipe comes together in less than 30 minutes.

📝 Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons gochujang
• 2 tablespoons honey (or more)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 lemon (juiced)
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2-3 tablespoons oil
• 1 lb large shrimp (peeled)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Mix together the gochujang, honey, water, and lemon and set aside.
2. 2Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cornstarch.
3. 3Toss the shrimp with the seasoned cornstarch until the shrimp are fully coated.
4. 4In a large skillet, heat up oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer in the skillet. You may need to do this in batches as you don’t want to overcrowd the pan. Pan fry until crispy and golden, around 6 to 8 minutes, flipping at the half way mark. Repeat until the shrimps are all cooked.
5. 5Wipe down the skillet and add the shrimp back in over low heat. Add the sauce and toss until well combined. Let the sauce cook for 2 to 3 minutes before removing it from the heat.
6. 6Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
