Ingredients

  • 2 cups

    long-grain white rice

  • 1/4 cup

    low-sodium  soy sauce

  • 3 Tbsp.

    chopped fresh ginger (from a 3-inch piece)

  • 2 Tbsp.

    fresh orange juice

  • 2 Tbsp.

    rice vinegar 

  • 1 Tbsp.

    light brown sugar

  • 1/4 tsp.

    red pepper flakes 

  • 1 Tbsp.

    sesame oil

  • 2 Tbsp.

    vegetable oil 

  • 1 1/2 lb.

    large shrimp, peeled and deveined 

  • 1 tsp.

    kosher salt

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • 2

    red bell peppers, cut into chunks

  • 1

    onion, cut into chunks

  • 1 cup

    salted roasted cashews 

  • Thinly sliced scallions, for topping

Directions

    1. Step 1Combine the rice and 3 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside, covered, for 10 more minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
    2. Step 2Meanwhile, whisk the soy sauce, ginger, orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar and red pepper flakes in a small bowl; set aside.
    3. Step 3Heat the sesame oil and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with the salt and a few grinds of pepper. Working in two batches, add the shrimp to the pan and cook, flipping halfway through, until they are just opaque and beginning to turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes; remove to a plate.
    4. Step 4Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables just begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Pour in the soy sauce mixture.
    5. Step 5Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until reduced slightly and starting to thicken, about 3 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and cashews to coat in the sauce. Serve over the rice and top with scallions.
