For the Firecracker Shrimp
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Glaze
In a small saucepan, combine the chipotle peppers, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Prepare the Shrimp
In a bowl, toss the shrimp with cornstarch until well coated. This will give them a crispy texture.
Fry the Shrimp
In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in batches and fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Toss with Glaze
In a large bowl, toss the crispy shrimp with the chipotle glaze until well coated. Garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve
Serve immediately with extra lime wedges if desired.
