Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate 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 pot with aromatics. 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.
Swap in brown rice for jasmine rice; use 1¾ cups water (3½ cups for 4 servings). Cook until tender, 20-25 minutes. (Save jasmine rice for another use.)
While rice cooks, rinse shrimp* under cold water 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 shrimp aside to marinate for at least 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, trim green beans if necessary; toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast on top rack, 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 marinated shrimp and cook, stirring, until shrimp are 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
Spicy and tasty. We are usually disappointed in the small clove of garlic and dried up piece of ginger that we receive. We added additional garlic and fresh ginger to enhance the flavor of the meal. This was easy to prepare.
The shrimp did not turn out like the picture. They were much lighter and they didn't have much taste to them. I marinated them for over the suggested 5 minutes so I am not sure where I went wrong! The rice was really good though
I did not receive the recipe card, so had to look it up and keep tablet near me and open. Recipe however is easy to follow and dinner was tasty.
I got mixed up on the sauteed onion, ginger and garlic ended up putting all into rice. Was very good that way too!
The green beans arrived partially frozen due to sitting directly on the ice pack. I substituted a can of green beans. The basic meal is good.
Very tasty! I added juice from half the lime to the shrimp marinade.
Small amount of green beans. Many beans bruise or smashed. Seemed like less rice in package. Ginger finger was quite dried out.
This was so delicious and filling. A great dinner that was easy to prepare.
