Spicy Shrimp with Ginger Garlic Green Beans Preparation

1. Combine the shrimp, mirin, soy sauce, green onion, and pepper flakes in a ziptop bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours.

2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and green beans. Cook, stirring constantly, until the beans turn bright green, about 2 minutes.

3. Add the shrimp and its marinade to the pan being careful of the steam. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly and the shrimp turns pick and curls, 3 to 4 minutes.

NOTE: At this point, cooked rice noodles can be tossed into the pan to absorb some of the sauce. Otherwise, serve shrimp dish over rice to soak up the sauce.
