I have been on a Sriracha sauce kick lately. First with my Sriracha Potato Salad which can be found here and now with shrimp and eggplant which are definitely my two favorite foods from the seafood and vegetable groups. Whenever I order in, or go out for Asian food, I always order Shrimp with Eggplant with Garlic Sauce! I absolutely LOVE it!!! It has so much flavor with the fresh garlic and adding a little bit of Sriracha sauce takes it up a notch! Sriracha sauce is not as hot as Tabasco and gives foods a really great flavor, so if you never had it, or not a of hot foods, just use a little bit. I think you will really like it a lot. Also, to make it easier on you, buy the shrimps that are already shelled and deveined. So to get the recipe, keep reading!
Shrimp with Eggplant with Garlic Sauce
| Shrimp with Eggplant with Garlic Sauce | |
- 2 lbs. extra-large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 medium to large eggplants, cut into 1-2” chunks
- 3-4 tbsps. peanut oil
- 10 cloves of fresh garlic, chopped
- 1 tbsp. Sriracha sauce, or to taste
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 5 tbsp. oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
- 1-2 tbsp. cornstarch mixed with about ¼ cup water (you want to make a slurry)
- In a large nonstick frying pan or wok heat up the oil over medium-high heat. When hot add the garlic and stir fry for only about a minute. You don’t want the garlic to burn. Add the eggplant and mix well. Lower the heat and saute the eggplant for about 5 or 6 minutes, or until soft. Stirring often.
- To the eggplant mixture add the shrimps and cook until they turn pink, stirring often, no more than 5 minutes as shrimp take very little time to cook. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
- Pour the broth into the pot with the eggplant and bring to a boil. Once boiling add in the cornstarch mixture and stir. Lower the heat as the mixture will begin to thicken. Add in the oyster and soy sauces and stir to combine. Add back in the shrimp to warm. Serve over your favorite rice! Enjoy!
P.S. I think another great shrimp dish that you would like is my Orange Chipolte Shrimp!
Everything IN this recipe is a winner, arguably making this dish a triple crown contender. Love the shrimp, love the eggplant, and love the garlic. That’s a whole lotta lovin’ here. Nice job!!

Maybe we can petition to have Sriracha put into the water system in NY. I don’t think anyone would complain. Pinned this recipe will be making it soon.

Hi there: this sounds really delish, but I ‘m wondering how many servings it makes, and the serving size? Thanks! trying to figure out the weightwatchers points for my diet when I make this. thanks!!
Hi Nancy, thank you so much for visiting my site and leaving me a message!
I really appreciate it! This recipe makes about 4 servings. How many people would you want to feed with it?
As an appetizer it will make more servings. With regard to the WW points, I’m not totally sure, but know
shrimp is low in points and maybe give 2-3 points for the oil and, at most, 1 point for the
cornstarch. Please let me know if you make it, and how you liked it! Thanks again! 🙂
Hi Sandi,
Can you replace the peanut oil for olive oil or sesame oil? I have a peanut allergy, however this looks really good and I’d like to give it a try!
Hi Nick,
Thank you for stopping by my site! Yes, you can definitely replace the peanut oil. If you use olive oil, make sure it’s not the extra virgin type, just use the light type which has no flavor. Sesame oil would be a much better choice and give it lots of good flavor. Enjoy! 🙂
Somehow I don’t see when to add the sriracha… I’m sure it’s me. No one else has the same issue.
