How to Make Sesame Shrimp Stir Fry
- In a plastic food storage bag, combine 1 lb shrimp, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 red chili pepper (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 tbsp sesame seeds, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Rinse 1 cup of rice and place it in a heatproof serving bowl.
- In a saucepan, bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Pour over the rice, cover with foil, and set aside for about 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
- Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 bell pepper (sliced) and 2 scallions (sliced).
- Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Add 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, 1/2 cup frozen peas, the marinated shrimp, and any remaining marinade from the bag.
- Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until shrimp are pink and opaque.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1/4 cup chicken broth.
- Add the cornstarch slurry to the wok/skillet.
- While stirring constantly, cook until the sauce has thickened and become bubbly.
- Season with salt to taste.
- With a fork, fluff the rice. Spoon the shrimp mixture over the rice and serve immediately.
