Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
- 10 ounces green beans
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced
- oil
Instructions
- Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans and cook for 5-6 minutes, while tossing frequently.
- While the green beans cook, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic.
- Remove the green beans from the skillet and add more oil if needed. Add the shrimp and cook for 20 seconds on each side.
- Stir in the sauce and add the green beans back to the skillet. Mix well and simmer for a minute or two and check for seasoning before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- The recipe can easily be adjusted to your liking. If you want it sweeter, add more honey, if you want it saltier, add more soy sauce or salt.
- I used red pepper flakes to add a little bit of heat but if you like it extra spicy, add a generous amount of red pepper flakes or sriracha.
- Garnish with scallions or sesame seeds for extra crunch.
- This recipe works with chicken breasts or scallops as well.
