Instructions
0 Whisk hot chili paste, honey, fish sauce, vinegar, garlic, and 2 tsp of sesame oil in a medium sized bowl. 1 Add shrimp, toss to coat, and transfer to fridge to marinate for 30 minutes. 2 Heat 1 tbsp. avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. 3 Working in two batches if needed, arrange shrimp in skillet in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. 4 Turn shrimp over and cook for another 30-60 seconds. The marinade will have darkened as the sugars caramelized, don't worry about that. 5 Transfer shrimp to a platter and reserve any leftover sauce. To serve: 8 Arrange cucumbers on platter next to shrimp and season with salt and 1 tsp sesame oil. 9 Arrange lettuce leaves and cilantro on platter so that each component is visible and easily accessible. 10 Place diced cashews in a small bowl. 11 Drizzle remaining sauce in the pan over the shrimp and finish with a squeeze of lime. 12 Serve and enjoy!View original recipe
