- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon grated garlic

- 1 pound raw shrimp (16-20 count), peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 cups cut (1" pieces) fresh green beans
Optional for Serving

Instructions
Hunan Sauce
- Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
Stir-Fry
- Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle cornstarch over the top and toss lightly to coat shrimp evenly.
- Heat a large skillet or a wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and allow it to heat until very hot.
- Shake off excess cornstarch from the shrimp and carefully add them to the hot oil, making sure to put the shrimp in a single layer.
- Sear shrimp for 3 minutes, or until lightly browned, then flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until they are plump and opaque. Remove shrimp to a large plate and set aside.
- Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Once oil is shimmering, add the green beans. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until they are beginning to blister and brown.
- Add prepared Hunan sauce to the green beans and cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes, or until it is bubbling and slightly thickened.
- Add seared shrimp to skillet and toss to coat shrimp with the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with green onion and sesame seeds. For a heartier meal, serve over cooked white rice.
