| 1/2 cup | cornstarch |
| 2 | large eggs, beaten |
| 1/4 cup | vegetable oil |
| 1/2 cup | honey |
| 2 tablespoons | freshly squeezed orange juice |
| zest of 1 orange | |

Directions:
In a large bowl, season shrimp with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in cornstarch and gently toss to combine. Working one at a time, dip the shrimp into the eggs.
Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan. Add shrimp and cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; discard excess oil.
To make the glaze, combine honey, orange juice, orange zest, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and ginger over medium low heat. Bring to a boil, simmering until thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve shrimp immediately, tossed or drizzled with honey mixture, garnished with orange zest, if desired.
