Sesame Shrimp


This recipe is adapted from from a classical Szechwan stir-fry.


Serves 4

1 Tbl. Canola Oil
1 medium Carrot
1 rib Celery
1 small Onion
1 Tbl. Chopped Garlic
1 pound Large Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1/2 cup Chicken Stock
1/2 tsp. Red Curry Paste
1/2 tsp. Black Sesame Seeds
1/2 tsp. White Sesame Seeds
2 Tbl. Cornstarch
1/4 cup Water
Dash Sesame Oil
Fresh Cilantro

Clean and wash vegetables. Cut celery and onion on a thin bias. Cut onion into 1/2 inch dice.

Heat canola oil in a wok over high heat. Add garlic, celery, onions, and carrots. Stir fry for 2 minutes.

Add shrimp and continue to cook, about 2 to 3 more minutes, until shrimp begin to curl. Be careful not to overcook at this
point.

Add chicken stock and red curry paste. Continue to stir and coat shrimp well.

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water. Add a small amount at a time to shrimp mixture to thicken sauce. All of the
cornstarch may not be needed. Adjust accordingly.

Remove wok from heat and fold in sesame seeds, sesame oil, and cilantro.



Chefs Tips- Always toast sesame seeds before adding to a recipe. Toasting brings out the oils and intensifies the flavor. Lay
out on a sheet pan and place in a 350 degree oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Be careful- they burn quick!
