Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and grate or mince ginger. Peel and mince garlic. Quarter lime.
Melt 1 TBSP butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and half the ginger; cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Add rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt to same pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
While rice cooks, rinse shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Toss in a medium bowl with garlic, half the hoisin (all the hoisin for 4 servings), and remaining ginger. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate for at least 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss green beans on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast, tossing halfway through, until browned and slightly crisp, 12-15 minutes.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp mixture and cook, stirring, until shrimp is opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Divide rice between plates; top with green beans and shrimp. Sprinkle with scallion greens and as many sesame seeds as you like. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
One of the best recipes I have gotten! The hoisin was delicious, and the rice with ginger and scallions and butter was so aromatic and tasty! I would eat this every night, and it was quick and simple to make!
A larger portion of the Hoisin sauce would be nice. Shrimp were nice and fresh and well cleaned (deveined) - thank you!! Green beans were fresh, not a lot of trimming needed and the Jasmine rice with the ginger and onions made an excellent pairing - I added fresh garlic with the onion prior to cooking the rice and lime zest when fluffing....it was excellent!
The ginger scallion rice is delicious! The green beans were roasted perfectly. The hoisin sauce on the shrimp was nice and I added red pepper flakes to it to give it a kick. YUM!
I steamed the green beans and combined them with the shrimp and rice. I used all of the hoisin sauce for 2 servings. Easy and tasty!
More flavor! I used all the hoisin (doubled my 2 serving recipe) and I'm glad I did. I also used more ginger and garlic than the recipe called for and it was still a bit bland. The shrimp was delightful and super fresh! One suggestion on prep: consider cutting the beans in half. They're a bit unwieldy when they're 4 inches long. By cutting in half, the dish can easily be eaten with a spoon (which is far more preferable to this chef.)
This was really good. I added lime zest to the rice and shrimp, and squeezed the lime juice all over my bowl (I love lemon/lime). My picky husband even liked this one. I added all the Hoisin sauce (recipe says 1/2). I will order this one again.
This was very tasty and easy to make. We microwaved the green beans, with some red pepper chili flakes. I used all the hoisin sauce for the shrimp marinade but next time will save some to put on the rice.
I loved the flavor profile of the hoisin with ginger. It was simple to cook and the shrimp option was perfect. Matter of fact, I asked for double the shrimp and ended up in shrimp heaven! I will definitely choose this again!
The fresh green beans with oil and seasonings alongside the rice and shrimp really complete this dish. This recipe is one of my favorites and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves shrimp!
Shrimp were perfect with hoisin sauce. I did have them in the skillet for 5 minutes to make sure cooked through. Next stop is the rice and beans! The string beans were crisp and very good. The rice was flavorful and hearty. A good and balanced meal.
