Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 5 cups roughly chopped green cabbage
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
  • 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sweet red chili sauce
  • 4 green onions
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onion, cabbage, carrots, and garlic. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is softened and the carrots are tender.
  • Push the vegetables to the sides of the pan, leaving a bit of space in the middle. Add the sesame oil to this space and let it heat up for a minute, then add the shrimp. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shrimp is pink and opaque throughout.
  • Add the rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic chili sauce, green onions, and sesame seeds (if using). Stir to combine and cook another minute. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you are using shredded cabbage (like packaged coleslaw) rather than roughly chopped cabbage, you’ll need less cooking time.
  • Sriracha can be used as an alternative for the sweet red chili sauce for slightly different flavor (try starting with 1 to 3 teaspoons; range depends on spice preference).
  • This recipe makes 2-4 servings, depending on the hunger level of those you’re feeding!
