Szechwan Shrimp


This is for all you seafood lovers, who want something light and easy. I had some shrimp sitting in my freezer and wanted to try something new. So I looked at one of my favorite sites (All recipes) and found this. It's low calorie (which is always a plus for me) and super easy to make.

4 TBSP water
2 TBSP ketchup
1 TBSP soy sauce
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1/3 tsp ground ginger
1 TSP vegetable oil
1/4 C sliced green onions
4 cloves garlic, minced
12 oz cooked shrimp, tails removed
1. In a bowl, stir together, water, ketchup, soy sauce, cornstarch, honey, crushed red pepper, and ground ginger. Set aside
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. stir in green onions and garlic; cook 30 seconds. Stir in shrimp, and toss to coat with oil. Stir in sauce. Cook and stir until sauce is bubbly and thickened.
