Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon (7g) cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) room temperature water
• 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons (42g) honey
• 1/2 cup (120ml) soy sauce
• 1/4 cup (60ml) vinegar (either rice wine or apple cider is great)
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 - 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger (I use 2)
• 1 and 1/2 lbs medium-large uncooked shrimp, peeled & deveined1
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil or olive oil
• 2-3 cups snap peas or any stir-fry veggie
• optional: sesame seeds for garnish

Directions

• Make the sauce: Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. It will be a milky liquid. This is for thickening the sauce. Combine the cornstarch mixture, brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and ginger together in a small saucepan over low heat. Allow to simmer while whisking occasionally. Bring to a boil and allow to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Place shrimp into a heat-proof bowl, then pour half of the sauce on top. Give it a stir and set aside for 10 minutes, uncovered at room temperature. If cooking later on, you can marinate the shrimp for up to a day. Keep it covered and refrigerate. (I usually begin cooking rice to have on the side at this point, but thats optional.) Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the snap peas, then stir and cook until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the shrimp, then the remaining half of the teriyaki sauce. Stir and cook until shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Serve with rice and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for a few days.
