Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra spice)

2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, soy sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and let marinate for about 15 minutes.

    While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the green beans. Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes until bright green but still crisp. Drain and set aside.

      In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.

        Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

          In the same skillet, add the blanched green beans. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, tossing occasionally to ensure they’re well-coated with the garlic-ginger mixture.

            Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing everything together. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, and cook for another minute until heated through.

              Remove from heat, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired.

                Serve immediately, either on its own or over a bed of steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
