Ingredients
Teriyaki marinade and sauce
1/2 cup (such as Kikkoman)
Sugar
2 tablespoons (granulated)
Water
to make 2/3 cup total with teriyaki sauce (as needed)
Medium shrimp
1 lb (peeled and deveined)
Cornstarch

Vegetable oil

Hot cooked rice
about 4 cups (white or brown)

Instructions
1
In a measuring cup, combine the teriyaki marinade and sugar. Stir well until the sugar fully dissolves, creating a smooth mixture.
2
Set aside 3 tablespoons of the teriyaki mixture and pour the rest over the peeled and deveined shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag securely, making sure to press out any excess air, and gently toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Allow the shrimp to marinate in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
3
While the shrimp is marinating, take the reserved teriyaki mixture and add enough water to reach a total of 2/3 cup. Mix in the cornstarch and stir until well combined.
4
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
5
Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce mixture into the skillet, stirring continuously. Let it cook for an additional minute, or until the sauce is bubbling and has thickened slightly.
6
To serve, spoon the teriyaki shrimp mixture generously over bowls of hot cooked rice. Top with your choice of beautifully steamed vegetables for a pop of color and nutrition.
