Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil divided
  • 1 lb jumbo shrimp peeled and tails removed
  • 3 tablespoons ginger freshly grated
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 6 scallions whites and greens sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper very thinly sliced
  • 16 oz coleslaw mix or finely shredded cabbage
  • 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup wonton strips
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Grater
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring Spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil over medium-high heat. Allow it to warm up for a minute.
  2. Add the 1 lb of jumbo shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil. Once heated, add the 3 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Now, toss in the 6 sliced scallions (whites and greens), 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper, and the 16 oz of coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage. Stir-fry the mixture for about 4-5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften but still retain some crunch.
  5. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the vegetables and drizzle in 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir the contents well to combine all the flavors.
  6. Return the sautéed shrimp to the skillet, mixing everything together gently. Cook for another minute to heat through.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the 1 cup of chopped fresh cilantro. This adds a refreshing note that complements the dish beautifully.
  8. Plate your Ginger Shrimp Egg Roll Skillet and top with 1 cup of crunchy wonton strips and a sprinkle of 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy your meal hot!

Notes

  • Feel free to add your favorite veggies like carrots or snap peas!
  • Adjust the spice level by adding red pepper flakes or sriracha.
  • This dish is great for meal prep; store shrimp and veggies separately from wonton strips.
