Ingredients
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, water, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the teriyaki sauce.
In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth and set aside.
Pour the teriyaki sauce into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a medium bowl and drizzle with vegetable oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 4 minutes until pink and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a large bowl and pour the thickened teriyaki sauce over them. Toss gently to coat all the shrimp evenly.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the shrimp before serving.
