Notes

For added flavor, toast sesame seeds lightly before garnishing. Adjust the chili according to your spice preference. Leftover shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently to avoid toughness. For freezing, omit green onions and cilantro initially, and use a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
