Ingredients
•
1 pound frozen raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
•
1/2 cup coconut aminos
•
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
•
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
•
1 teaspoon brown sugar, or to taste
•
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
•
1 teaspoon sesame oil
•
2 teaspoons cornstarch
•
2 teaspoons water
•
2 cups steamed white rice
•
1 tablespoon sliced green onions
•
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
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.
