How to Make Shrimp With Orange And Ginger

  1. Peel and grate 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger into a bowl.
  2. Finely mince 2 cloves of garlic and add it to the ginger along with 1-2 crushed red chilies (adjust to your spice preference), 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
  3. Add 1 pound of shrimp to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  4. While the shrimp marinates, thinly slice 1 red bell pepper.
  5. Slice 4 scallions diagonally, separating the white and green parts.
  6. Peel and segment 2 large oranges, reserving 3-4 tablespoons of juice in a bowl.
  7. Heat a wok or large skillet over moderately high heat until hot.
  8. Add the marinated shrimp and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until pink and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  9. Add 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil to the pan. Add the sliced red pepper and white parts of the scallions and stir-fry until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  10. Stir in the orange segments and reserved orange juice.
  11. Return the cooked shrimp to the pan along with any accumulated juices. Stir until heated through and well combined.
  12. Garnish with the green parts of the scallions and serve immediately over cooked rice.
