Add the coconut aminos to a small skillet over medium heat. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove the pan from heat then whisk in the vinegar, sesame oil, and fish sauce and set aside.
While the teriyaki sauce is cooking, season the shrimp with salt add 1 tablespoon ghee to a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning halfway through, until pink and fully cooked through, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
