Shrimp with Green Beans

• 1/4 cups Mirin Or Dry Sherry
• 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1 whole Scallion Or Green Onion, Both White And Green Parts Thinly Sliced
• 1/4 teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
• 1 pound Shrimp, Peeled And Deveined
• 1/2 pounds Green Beans, Trimmed And Cut Into 2 Inch Pieces
• 2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
• 1 Tablespoon Garlic, Minced
• 1 Tablespoon Fresh Ginger, Minced
• Steamed Rice, To Serve

1. In a medium bowl, mix together mirin, soy sauce, scallion and red pepper flakes.
2. Add the shrimp and mix well to coat.
3. Marinate the shrimp in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
4. (Because I started making dinner late, I missed that step and only had the shrimp marinating for 1/2 hour.
5. They turned out just fine).
6. While the shrimp marinates, continue your prep.
7. Put an inch of cold water in a medium pot with a lid.
8. Add green beans to the pot and cover.
9. Bring the water to a boil over medium high heat and cook the green beans for about 2-3 minutes in the boiling water, or until they have turned a bright green.
10. Drain the green beans in a colander and run cold water over them to stop the cooking and set the color.
11. Put your wok or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
12. Add the sesame oil and let that heat until there is a shimmer on top of the oil.
13. Add garlic and ginger and stir fry that for 15-30 seconds.
14. As soon as you can smell the garlic cooking, add the green beans and stir them quickly to coat them with the oil.
15. Cook the green beans for about 3 minutes.
16. You dont want them squishy.
17. Add the shrimp and the marinade and cook until the sauce thickens slightly and the shrimp are pink, about 2-3 minutes.
18. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
19. Enjoy!
