Stir Fried Shrimp With Spicy Orange Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

1 tablespoon chile paste with garlic (such as sambal oelek)

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/3 cup chopped green onions

Preparation

Place shrimp in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch; toss well to coat. Set aside.

Combine juice, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, and chile paste, stirring with a whisk; set aside.

Heat canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced ginger and garlic to pan; stir-fry for 15 seconds or until fragrant. Add shrimp mixture; stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add juice mixture and onions; cook 2 minutes or until sauce thickens and shrimp are done, stirring frequently. Serve immediately.

Wine note: Stir-Fried Shrimp with Spicy Orange Sauce needs a wine with a lot of bold fruit to go up against the “punch” of chiles, ginger, and garlic. My favorite choice, rosé, may be conventional, but wait until you taste a good one. Rosés are fruity (like many red wines) but cool and refreshing (like a white). Try Marqués de Cáceras Rosé 2006 from Rioja, Spain. It’s a steal at $8. –Karen MacNeil Nutritional Information
