  • Ready in under 20 minutes for a fast weeknight dinner
  • Bold garlicky, slightly spicy sauce with a hint of sweetness
  • Shrimp stay plump and juicy, never rubbery, with the right timing
  • 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (for shrimp)
  • +13 more ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs
  1. Pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels; excess moisture will cause dangerous oil splatter and prevent good searing.

Continue simmering until the sauce reduces and coats the back of a spoon.

Rest the dish for five minutes before serving with your favorite side.
