Ingredients

800 g frozen shrimp

100 ml soy sauce

6 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean chili paste)

1 tablespoon crushed or minced garlic

500 g red cabbage

1 mango

1 red chili

Flat parsley

2 teaspoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons sesame seeds, black and white

2 teaspoons cornstarch, sifted

1 handful of flat parsley

1 lime

Cape gooseberry/tomatillo or similar fruit

Rice

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, Gochujang, garlic, and sesame oil, whisking until a smooth sauce forms.

Step 2

Next, in a large mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with about 2 tablespoons of the sauce until evenly coated.

Step 3

Pour the remaining marinade into a large skillet and warm over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a rolling boil, whisk in the cornstarch, then let the sauce bubble until it reduces and thickens, approximately 5 minutes. Remember to whisk periodically as the sauce thickens.

Step 4

Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, add the coated shrimp to the skillet and cook until warmed through, about 1 minutes.

Step 5

Immediately plate and serve, pairing the Sweet & Sticky Korean Shrimp with your choice of rice  and finely chopped red cabbage and mango. Garnish with parsley, lime wedges, sesame seeds and cape gooseberry.
