Easy Teriyaki Shrimp with Homemade Sauce

Weekdays are all about those quick meals and this teriyaki shrimp stir fry style dish fits into that perfectly. You can have it ready in 25 minutes and it’s always satisfies those take out cravings. It’s very similar to the traditional quick teriyaki chicken (which we all love) with the same type of sauce but a different protein to switch things up. Serve it with white rice, brown rice, veggie fried rice, or sautéed vegetables (green beans, asparagus, broccoli, bell peppers, etc.) to compete the meal.

How to Make Teriyaki Shrimp

How to Store and Reheat Shrimp

Store cooked shrimp teriyaki in the fridge. Warm in skillet on low heat until warmed through, stir frequently. Or reheat in microwave on low power 30% to 50%, don’t use full power or it will make it rubbery.

Helpful Tips and Variations

Have sauce made and ready to pour into pan with shrimp before you begin, the shrimp cooks in just minutes. Be careful not to overlook shrimp for the best texture. If you don’t have mirin you can use dry sherry. Mirin can be found in the Asian foods sections of most larger grocery stores. Brown sugar or white sugar can be used in place of honey. For a spicier shrimp add more sriracha to taste or red pepper flakes.
