Sweet Chili Shrimp
This Sweet Chili Shrimp has become one of our favorite meals. I made this for my son and now he has declared it to be one of his all-time favorites. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
What I love is that this is a naturally gluten free meal. I never get a lightly breaded shrimp that is gluten free, and this recipe is! You can make it with chicken if you don’t like shrimp. I always do both because my husband isn’t a fan of shrimp.
You use cornstarch as the breading and lightly fry it. I like to cook mine in an electric wok or you can use a skillet. I serve it over long-grain white rice and with green beans. Garnish with sliced green onions and peanuts. It gives it a nice salty flavor to the bite.
