2. Mix the sauce’s cornstarch and a bit of the stock to dissolve the starch.
3. Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce - the rest of the stock, hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Mix.
4. Using a large skillet, heat the oil on medium heat.
5. Cook the shrimp in a single layer - one minute on each side.
6. Add the sauce to the pan. Stir for about one minute until the sauce reaches a thicker consistency.
7. Stir in the cilantro and top with sesame seeds and minced cilantro.
*Prepare raw cashews by toasting them in a 350° oven for about 8 minutes until they’re fragrant and golden.

Note

This recipe pairs beautifully with a bed of rice (or cauliflower rice) and roasted vegetables.
Buy ocean-friendly certified shrimp, medium-sized, with the tails on or off.
Tails can be left on, but enjoying the meal is easier with the tails removed.
The shrimp can be cooked fresh or thawed from frozen.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for a maximum of two days, and reheat slightly so the shrimp don’t overcook.
