Directions

  1. Place frozen shrimp in a single layer on a metal pan and set aside.

  2. Combine coconut aminos, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil in a large skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat, 3 to 4 minutes.

  3. Add shrimp to the boiling sauce in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook until shrimp curls into a \"C\" shape and changes color from white and pink, 2 to 3 minutes.

  4. Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl, stirring to remove lumps. Add slurry to the skillet and cook, stirring briskly, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Serve over hot cooked rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Recipe Note

If you want to serve this dish on rice, you need to start the rice first, because it comes together quickly! I used coconut aminos, a sub for soy sauce, that is a bit thinner in consistency and sweeter in taste than soy sauce. Sweet and full of umami, this recipe works as a light lunch, or as a main, with some steamed broccoli or a salad as a side.
