General Tso's Shrimp at Home

Published 4 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Whenever I'm craving something crispy, saucy, and slightly sweet for dinner, I make General Tso's Shrimp. This dish features crispy golden shrimp, paired with a perfect sweet and tangy sauce. It comes together so easily and tastes like you got it from a restaurant.

👉🏽 Here's the recipe: General Tso's Shrimp

🍤 The Secret to Perfect Crispy Shrimp – It's all in the cornstarch batter and not overcrowding your pan. I fry mine in two batches in my 12-inch skillet, and they come out golden and crispy every single time.

🥢 That Sauce Though – Sweet, tangy, with just the right amount of heat from those dried red chilies (don't eat them though, they're spicy!). The sauce thickens up beautifully and coats each piece of shrimp perfectly.

Pro tip from someone who's made this multiple times: serve it over steamed white rice. Trust me, you want something to soak up every drop of that sauce.

If you prefer, don't forget to 📌 Pin it for later: General Tso's Shrimp for when you're ready to make it!

Happy Cooking,

Perfect Roast Chicken with Golden Crispy Skin

Hi Reader, I've been making roast chicken for years now, and let me tell you, it took me way too long to figure out the secret to getting it right every time. You know how it goes; sometimes the skin is rubbery instead of crispy, and the meat is dry. I'd stand there, thinking, "Why can't I just make a decent roast chicken in the oven?!" Then I tried this method where you start with high heat and then turn it down, and WOW. Golden, crispy skin and juicy meat every single time. I use my baking...
