Ingredients

  • ¾ cup thinly sliced scallion greens
  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium tamari

  • 1 ½ tablespoons toasted (dark) sesame oil

Directions

  1. Whisk scallion greens, tamari, mirin, oil, white sesame seeds, ginger and crushed red pepper, if using, in a medium bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the sauce in a small bowl. Add shrimp to the sauce in the medium bowl and gently toss to coat.
