Instructions

Mix shrimp with salt and set aside. In a small bowl whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, soy sauce, honey and cornstarch.  Add prunes and let soak. In a separate small bowl combine ginger, garlic, green onions and chili flakes. In a third bowl, add yellow onion and jalapeno.

In a wok or large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat for 1 minute. Add ginger, garlic, green onion and chili flakes, then stir-fry until garlic turns fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add yellow onion and jalapeno then cook until onion starts to soften, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook partially, about 1 minute. Add lemon juice, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, cornstarch and prunes, then cook to reduce the sauce and finish cooking the shrimp, about 1-2 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve with rice.
