Super Easy Teriyaki Shrimp. Tender shrimp sautéed in a homemade teriyaki sauce. Takes less than 15 minutes to make!
Hi guys! It’s Kelley back from Chef Savvy! Today I am sharing this Super Easy appetizer or dinner.
I love making my own teriyaki sauce at home. It’s so much easier to control the sweetness and the salt level. I used the same homemade teriyaki sauce as my Easy Teriyaki Beef Meatballs and my Teriyaki Baked Salmon.
The teriyaki sauce consists of soy sauce, water, ginger, garlic and brown sugar. The sauce gets nice and thick with a simple cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon cold water).
Once the homemade teriyaki sauce is done the shrimp are sauteed in a bit of oil and then tossed in the teriyaki sauce! I love to make extra sauce to serve over rice. Enjoy!
