Step By Step

Instructions

Prepare the Sweet and Spicy Sesame Sauce:

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sriracha sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Set aside.

Cook the Shrimp:

1
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2
Add ButcherBox Wild-Caught U.S. Gulf Shrimp to the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
3
Stir-fry the shrimp for 2-3 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside.

Prepare the Stir-Fry Vegetables:

1
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and minced ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
2
Add the sliced broccolini, snap peas, and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but are still crisp.
3
Add the red onion to the skillet and continue to stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Combine Everything with the Sweet and Spicy Sesame Sauce:

1
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the stir-fried vegetables.
2
Pour the prepared sweet and spicy sesame sauce over the entire mixture.
3
Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens, and everything is well coated.
4
Taste and adjust the level of spiciness by adding more sriracha sauce if desired.

Serve the Sweet and Spicy Sesame Sauce Shrimp, Broccolini, and Snap Pea Stir-Fry:

1
Divide the stir-fry among air-tight food storage containers, alongside cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice.
2
Garnish with chopped green onions and refrigerate. These containers can be stored for 3-4 days.
