Orange Sesame Shrimp

Step 1

Beat egg in a small bowl. Put cornstarch in another bowl.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two or three batches, dredge the shrimp in the egg and then in the corn starch. Cook each batch shrimp until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Then do the next batch, adding a small amount of oil to skillet if necessary for remaining batches.

Step 3

After the shrimp have all been cooked and transferred to a plate, add the onion slices to the pan and cook until just tender. Transfer the onions to the shrimp plate.

Step 4

Add the orange juice, soy sauce substitute, and sugar (or honey) to the skillet. Bring to boil. Then cook and stir, boiling rapidly, until the mixture is syrupy and reduced to about ⅓ cup (about 4 - 5 minutes).

Step 5

Return the shrimp and onion slices to the skillet. Stir to thorough coat the shrimp with the sauce. Cook for about 1 minute, until the shrimp is heated through. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice or noodles.
