Spicy Sweet Shrimp
- 1/2 lb raw shrimp
- 2 tbsp plum sauce
- 3 dash red pepper flakes
- 2 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Start to thaw your shrimp under cool to room temperature lightly running water in a deep bowl in the sink.
- Peel and mince the garlic
- Place a big skillet on the stove top and put the heat to medium.
- Put in enough coconut oil to coat the bottom then add the garlic.
- Allow the garlic to cook a little, less than 2 minutes.
- In that time start peeling your thawed shrimp.
- Place the shrimp on their side into the skillet and allow them to cook until pink on that side.
- Flip the shrimp to their other side to cook.
- While they are cooking, sprinkle the red pepper flakes (I like a lot of heat so I coat them pretty nice).
- Take a spoonful of plum sauce and drizzle each shrimp with a coating, may need to spoon more in to coat all.
- Allow shrimp to fully cook (there should be no transparent flesh, the shrimp should be all pink and white)
- Since plum sauce is a sweet sauce, while heated it will bubble, so what I do is take the skittlet by the handle and move the shrimp around in the fallen sauce for a nice coating.
- The shrimp should now be fully cooked so turn the stove off, dump the shrimp into a bowl, scrape the rest of the garlic, flakes, and sauce on top and enjoy!
