Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wash and dry the produce. Bring 1 1/4 cups water and a large pinch of salt to a boil in a small pot.
2. Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate. Peel and grate or finely mince the ginger. Cut the lime into wedges and mince the garlic.
3. Once the water is boiling, stir in the jasmine rice. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
4. While the rice cooks, place the green beans on a baking sheet. Toss with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Roast until browned and slightly crisp, about 15 minutes, tossing halfway through.
5. Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, hoisin sauce, minced garlic and half the ginger. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the scallion whites and remaining ginger. Cook, tossing, until softened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Transfer the cooked scallion whites and ginger to the pot with the rice. Stir to combine, then cover the pot to keep warm.
8. Return the same pan to medium-high heat and add the shrimp mixture with another drizzle of vegetable oil. Cook until the shrimp are firm and opaque, 3 to 4 minutes.
9. Divide the ginger-scallion rice between plates. Top with the roasted green beans and hoisin shrimp. Garnish with scallion greens and sesame seeds and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
