Description

This vibrant dish features succulent large shrimp tossed in a fragrant sesame oil glaze, paired with crisp carrot matchsticks for a satisfying crunch. The combination of nutty sesame notes and fresh, mildly pungent spring onions creates a balanced flavor profile that is both light and deeply savory. It is an excellent choice for a quick weeknight dinner when you need something nutritious yet indulgent. The simple preparation highlights the natural sweetness of the seafood while the cornstarch slurry ensures a glossy, appetizing finish. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal that feels restaurant-quality but comes together in minutes using pantry staples.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat the large shrimp dry with paper towels to ensure they sear properly.
  2. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
  3. Add the carrot matchsticks to the hot pan and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  4. Push the carrots to the side and add the shrimp in a single layer, cooking for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  5. Stir in the slivered spring onions and toss everything together.
  6. Pour the cornstarch and water mixture into the pan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
  7. Remove from heat immediately and serve while hot.
