Ingredients
1 pound large 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 create the teriyaki sauce.
In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth to make a slurry.
Combine the teriyaki sauce and cornstarch slurry in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place the 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.
Arrange 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 or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a large bowl. Pour the thickened teriyaki sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the shrimp before serving.
