Instructions

To a small mason jar, add all sauce ingredients (soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, sriracha, minced garlic, ground ginger, fish sauce, red pepper flakes, and lime juice). Shake well for 5-10 seconds, or until well mixed.

Heat oil in large skillet or wok over medium heat. When hot, add jalapeños, mushrooms and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mushrooms begin to soften. Stir occasionally.

Make a well in the center of the pan and add shrimp in one layer across the pan. Ensure all shrimp are touching the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are pink, and then flip each shrimp to cook the other side. Shake the prepared sauce one more time, and add it to the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until all the shrimp are fully cooked. Remove from heat and stir to ensure the sauce has coated all the mushrooms and shrimp.

Serve immediately (my favorite combo: over brown rice with cilantro on top!). Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Prep Shrimp Properly 🦐
Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels before cooking to ensure a golden sear and prevent steam from making them rubbery. Dry shrimp will caramelize beautifully rather than steam in the pan.
Build Flavor in the Sauce 🌶️
Whisk your soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, honey, sriracha, ginger, and garlic together in a small bowl before cooking so they emulsify properly and coat the ingredients evenly. This prevents uneven seasoning and ensures balanced heat throughout.
Don't Overcrowd the Pan 🍳
Cook shrimp and mushrooms in batches if needed rather than overcrowding—this allows proper caramelization and prevents steaming. A crowded pan creates moisture that prevents the golden crust you're after.
Toast Sesame Oil at the End 🥢
Add toasted sesame oil in the final 30 seconds of cooking rather than at the beginning to preserve its delicate nutty flavor, which dissipates with prolonged heat exposure.
Jalapeño Heat Control 🌶️
Remove jalapeño seeds and white membrane for milder heat, or leave them in for maximum spice—this gives you control over the final dish's heat level without adjusting other seasonings.
