Sesame Ginger Shrimp

No ratings yet
Shrimp is always a hit in my home and this Sesame Ginger Shrimp is bursting with flavor and comes together quickly and all in one pan.  It's the perfect dinner for any night of week especially when you buy shrimp that has been shelled and deveined and pre-shredded broccoli slaw.  You may want to double this recipe if you have hearty eaters as we managed to eat it all (just the two of us)!  I can’t wait for you to try this one!

Notes

You can use ginger root that has been minced and sold pre packaged.  I use the frozen one from Trader Joe's.  It comes packaged in 1 tsp cubes making it super convenient and fast to use.
