Place the jumbo shrimp into a mixing bowl. Spoon approximately 3 tablespoons of the prepared marinade mixture over the shrimp. Toss the shrimp to ensure they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and marinate for at least 15 minutes.

After removing the 3 tablespoons for marinating the shrimp, stir the cornstarch into the remaining marinade mixture in the original glass bowl. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully incorporated. Set this mixture aside; this will be your pan sauce.

Pour the marinated shrimp onto a paper towel-lined baking sheet or tray. Use additional paper towels to pat the shrimp dry, removing any excess marinade. Discard the used paper towels and any remaining excess marinade. This step is critical for a crispy sear.

Heat a large stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the hot skillet, swirling it to coat the bottom of the pan. Place the dried shrimp in a single layer in the skillet. Cook the shrimp until lightly browned, approximately 1 to 2 minutes per side. Flip the shrimp with tongs to ensure even cooking and browning.

Pour the reserved marinade mixture (which now contains cornstarch) directly into the skillet with the cooked shrimp. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp.
