Szechwan Shrimp

Well we have hit that time of year again. The joy of eating through the holidays has passed and now it is triathlon training time at our house. We are trying new recipes that are healthier, but still taste somewhat good. I found this winner at Allrecipes. I doubled the sauce except for the corn starch and next time I will decrease the the red pepper flakes. It was a little spicy, but still good.

4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup sliced green onions
4 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces cooked shrimp, tails removed

Directions

In a bowl, stir together water, ketchup, soy sauce, cornstarch, honey, crushed red pepper, and ground ginger. Set aside. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in green onions and garlic; cook 30 seconds. Stir in shrimp, and toss to coat with oil. Stir in sauce. Cook and stir until sauce is bubbly and thickened.
