Firecracker Shrimp
Firecracker Shrimp brings a punchy balance of sweet heat and bright lime over tender, juicy shrimp. A glossy chili-lime and sriracha glaze clings to the crispy-cornstarch sear, making each bite bold and vibrant. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, especially served over steamed rice with scallions and sesame for crunch.
