Step 1

Using a vegetable peeler, peel off a 1” wide strip of zest from 1 orange, then finely grate the zest from about half the orange. Reserve both kinds of zest. Juice both oranges into a bowl (you should have just over 1/2 cup juice). Whisk in the honey, soy sauce, vinegar.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of the orange-soy mixture to form a paste, then stir that back into the bowl with the rest of the orange-soy mixture.

Step 3

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. In the largest skillet you have, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering- hot, almost smoking. Add the shrimp, spread it out in one layer, and cook until the underside is bright pink, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook 1 minute more, then transfer the shrimp to a plate.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add the garlic, ginger, scallion whites and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the orange-soy liquid and the strip of orange zest, and cook, stirring, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the shrimp to the skillet, add the scallion greens, and toss to coat with the sauce.

Step 5

Divide the shrimp among bowls, garnish with a few punches of the grated orange zest, and serve with rice.
