Stir-fried Orange & Sesame Shrimp

Directions

Mix together sesame seeds, egg whites, cornstarch, salt and pepper in a large bowl and whisk until well combined.

Gently toss in shrimp until evenly coated.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Stir in half the shrimp and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side.

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Repeat with the remaining ½ tablespoon oil and the rest of the shrimp.

Stir in orange juice, sherry, soy sauce and sugar to the pan.

Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened and the volume has been reduced into half, about 5 minutes.

Bring the shrimp back to the pan and stir to evenly coat with the sauce.

Top with sliced scallion.

Serve warm with steamed or stir-fried rice.
