Heat ½ cup canola oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F/180°C on a deep-frying thermometer. Add the shrimp to the hot oil and fry for 2–⏱️ 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Using a spider or metal tongs, transfer the shrimp to a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil. Pour out the oil and wipe the pan.

Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the sauce into the same pan and simmer for 2–⏱️ 3 minutes, until fragrant.
5
In a small measuring cup, stir together 2 Tbsp. cornstarch and 3 Tbsp. cold water until smooth.
