Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast gently until they are lightly golden and fragrant, stirring frequently so they do not burn.
- Boil the frozen shrimp in water for 5–10 minutes, then drain them thoroughly before adding them to the sauce.
- Add the drained shrimp to the pan with the buttery toasted sesame seeds and stir gently to combine.
- Season with salt and add 3–4 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce. Stir until every piece of shrimp is evenly coated in the glossy sauce.
- Cook the shrimp briefly with the sauce, stirring gently, just until everything is hot and well coated. Avoid cooking for too long so the shrimp stay tender.
- Add the chopped green onions, stir them through the shrimp, and turn off the heat.
- Serve the sweet chili shrimp immediately while warm and glossy.
