#HomeCookMaster Style Spicy & Sweet Chili Shrimp Recipe #Homemade Shrimp Box Delight
Inspired by HomeCookMaster’s recipe, create delicious chili shrimp at home that rivals restaurant quality, using a simple chili sauce made from tomato ketchup, chili powder, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar. It’s easy yet packed with rich flavor.
Shrimp & Base Ingredients- 2 cups cocktail shrimp (rinsed and drained)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp butter
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Homemade Chili Sauce- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 Tbsp sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Add the rinsed and drained cocktail shrimp to the pan. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Once the shrimp turn pink and are about halfway cooked, add all the homemade chili sauce ingredients (ketchup, chili powder, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar) and mix well. If using store-bought chili sauce, use 2 tablespoons. For extra creaminess and a smoother flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise when using store-bought chili sauce.
Step 2
Continue to cook, tossing the shrimp or stirring with a spatula, until the shrimp are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly. Ensure the sauce evenly coats the shrimp. This will result in a perfectly balanced chili shrimp with a delightful spicy, tangy, and sweet flavor. Finish with a light squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh zest that elevates the overall taste.
Step 3
Now, let’s create a delightful homemade shrimp box! While a box shape isn’t mandatory, attractive plating is key. Arrange the prepared chili shrimp beautifully on a plate. You can also add garlic shrimp on the side if you like.
Step 4
Prepare a refreshing salad to complement the dish. Finely shred cabbage and toss it with a little mayonnaise. If you have cucumbers, shred them as well and mix them in for an extra crisp and zesty salad.
Step 5
Fill a bowl generously with warm rice and place it on one side of the plate. With rice, salad, and the mouthwatering chili shrimp, your homemade-style shrimp box is complete. Enjoy this special, easy-to-make meal right in the comfort of your home!
