Ingredients

Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice cooking wine
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Stir Fry:

  • 1 tablespoon avocado or vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup roasted salted cashews
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled + deveined
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced (white + greens, separated)

Instructions

  • Whisk sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set a side.
  • Heat a large pan over high heat. Once hot, add the oil. Once shimmering, add the shrimp and give them a quick stir to coat in oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and continue to cook and stir until the shrimp are nearly cooked through, about 2 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat of your pan to medium, and add the sauce, white part of the green onions, and cashews. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to marry the flavors and soften the onions.
  • Remove from heat, serve over rice with green onions sprinkled on top, and enjoy!
