Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp
  • 1 lb wild caught shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons avocado oil for sauteing
For the Sauce
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice
  • 3 cloves garlic minced or grated
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
For Serving
  • 1 lb green beans washed and trimmed
  • 4 cups cooked rice or other grain
  • 1 squeeze lime juice optional
  • 1 sprinkle sesame seeds optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Pot for rice

Method
 

  1. Prepare your rice according to package directions. While the rice cooks, prepare the shrimp and sauce.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Chinese five spice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to create the sauce.
  3. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet with the shrimp. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender-crisp.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and green beans in the skillet. Toss to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat through.
  7. Serve the garlic chili shrimp and green beans immediately over the cooked rice. Garnish with a squeeze of lime juice and sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

For a spicier dish, add more red pepper flakes. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes or omit them. This dish is also delicious with other vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers.
