Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cashew nuts, roasted
- 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Sauce In a small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce, maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and garlic. Stir these ingredients well and set the bowl aside until needed.
- Step 2: Cook the Shrimp Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Stir-fry the shrimp for about 7 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Step 3: Thicken the Sauce Using the same skillet, pour in the prepared sauce. Allow it to cook and stir until it starts to bubble. Let the sauce thicken for approximately 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning.
- Step 4: Combine Shrimp and Cashews Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet along with the roasted cashews. Toss everything together to ensure the shrimp and cashews are evenly coated in the sauce. Remove from heat once everything is heated through and well mixed.
