Ingredients
2 teaspoons plus 1/4 cup canola oil
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 scallions, thinly sliced on the angle, plus extra for garnish
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/4 cup orange marmalade
2 teaspoons of honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch, plus 6 tablespoons
Kosher Salt
2 pounds 11-15 count shrimp, peeled and deveined, dried on a paper towel
Directions
Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in small skillet over medium heat. When oil just shimmers, add garlic, scallions, red pepper flakes, and orange zest and cook until fragrant, less than a minute. Immediately add marmalade, honey, and soy sauce to skillet. Allow to bubble for 1 minutes. Meanwhile, use small whisk to combine the fresh orange juice and 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch in small bowl. Add slurry to skillet and whisk continuously for 1 final minute until sauce is thick. Set aside. Toss dry shrimp with remaining cornstarch and pinch of salt. Heat remaining canola oil in wok over medium heat until lightly smoking. Fry shrimp six at a time until orange, curled, and slightly crisp, about 2 minutes, turning once half way through cooking. Drain on paper towel. Repeat for all 4 batches. Add more oil if necessary. Toss shrimp with orange sauce. Garnish with fresh scallions and orange zest. Serve with plain white rice.
