Black Pepper Caramel Shrimp
Sustainable Choice: Buy Pacific white shrimp farmed in fully recirculating systems or inland ponds.
For a milder dish, use only 1 teaspoon black pepper.
How to Make It
Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Keep warm.
Combine 1 tablespoon water and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk; set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add shrimp; sauté 2 minutes or until shrimp begin to turn pink. Add peas, garlic, pepper, and salt; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Combine broth, sugar, and fish sauce in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil; stir in cornstarch mixture. Cook 30 seconds or until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Pour sugar mixture over shrimp. Return shrimp mixture to medium-high heat; cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve over cooked rice.
