Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bring 1¼ cups water and a pinch of salt to a boil in a small pot. Trim scallions and separate white and green parts; thinly slice both. Peel and grate or finely mince ginger. Mince garlic. Cut lime into wedges.
2. Add rice to boiling water, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat but keep covered.
3. Toss green beans on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast until browned and slightly crisp, about 15 minutes, tossing halfway.
4. Rinse shrimp and pat dry. In a bowl, toss shrimp with hoisin sauce, garlic and half the ginger. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add scallion whites and remaining ginger; cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Stir into cooked rice and cover.
6. In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of oil and the shrimp. Cook, tossing, until shrimp are firm and opaque, 3-4 minutes. Serve rice topped with green beans and shrimp. Garnish with scallion greens and sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges.
