Shrimp and Green Bean Stir-Fry

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Shrimp:
   • In a bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and a pinch of pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 to 20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Blanch the Green Beans:
   • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 2 minutes, until they turn bright green and are slightly tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
3. Stir-Fry:
   • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
4. Add the Shrimp:
   • Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
5. Cook the Green Beans:
   • In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Add the blanched green beans and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until they are tender and crisp.
6. Combine:
   • Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the green beans. Add the oyster sauce and sesame oil. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
7. Serve:
   • Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
