    Gochujang Honey Shrimp

    Last Modified: November 12, 2020 - Published by: christieathome

    Gochujang Honey Shrimp. A spicy honey sesame shrimp that is easy to make in under 30 minutes. A great side dish for dinner.

    These shrimps are lightly coated in cornstarch and seasoning first, then pan fried in some oil and coated with a thick honey gochujang sesame soy sauce. It's so tasty and I'm surprised I don't see more gochujang shrimp recipes online!

    Gochujang Honey Shrimp

    It comes together so quickly because shrimp cooks very quickly! If you're a shrimp lover like me, then this is the perfect dish for you to try. And if you enjoy the kick from Korean Gochujang then you will really enjoy it!

    Gochujang Honey Shrimp

    My gochujang shrimp stir-fry isn't too spicy to be honest because the honey and water help to neutralize the taste of it. But there is a slight kick.

    If you want to add veggies to this spicy gochujang shrimp, like red bell peppers or carrots, feel free to do so after you fry the shrimp.

    I also share other shrimp recipes so don't forget to check them out below!

      Hi Christie I made this pretty much according to the directions. I shifted it to a main course, by using 8-12 shrimp and serving with brown rice w. chopped up broccoli. I also upped the sauce amount. My food-bigot spouse enjoyed it, but probably not as much as me. Thank you!!!

      Do you put oil in the pan before you fry shrimp or not?

      This is amazing! I had to add a pinch of salt since I used low sodium soy sauce. But we loved it and will certainly make again!!

      made this recipe with a few "substitutions" as we are in a vacation rental so did not have all the ingredients but even so it was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to try it again when we get home and I will have all the "recipe" ingredients specified. Don't be afraid to try it even if you have to improvise.
