Prep: 10 Cook: 30

• 2scallions
• 1lime
• 1TBS sesame seeds
• 1thumb ginger
• 1clove garlic
• 10oz shrimp
• 6oz green beans
• ½cup jasmine rice
• 1TBS hoisin sauce
• salt & pepper
• cooking oil
• butter

Prep:

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry produce.

Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate ginger. Peel and mince garlic. Quarter lime.

Cook aromatics:

Melt 1 TBS butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and half the ginger, cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Cook rice:

Add rice, ¾ cup water, and a big pinch of salt to pot with aromatics. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Marinate shrimp:

While rice cooks, rinse shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Toss in a medium bowl with garlic, half the hoisin, and remaining ginger. Season with salt and pepper.

Set shrimp aside to marinate for at least 5 minutes.

Roast green beans:

Meanwhile, trim green beans, if necessary, toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and slightly crisp, 12-15 minutes.

Cook shrimp & serve:

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated shrimp and cook, stirring, until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 3- to 4-minutes.

Divide rice between plates, top with green beans and shrimp. Sprinkle with scallion greens and as many sesame seeds as you like. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
