Spicy Citrus Shrimp
Description
This vibrant Spicy Citrus Shrimp dish delivers a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors in every bite. The sauce is built on a bright foundation of orange-pineapple juice, deepened by savory soy sauce and aromatic sesame oil. Fermented black beans add a rich, umami complexity that pairs beautifully with the quick-cooking shrimp. Fresh red chilies provide a gentle heat, while the cornstarch thickens the juices into a glossy, clingy glaze. Its a fast, flavorful weeknight dinner that comes together in under 20 minutes. Serve it hot over steamed rice or noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.Ingredients
