    At the end of 2018, I shared a poll on Instagram and an overwhelming majority said they wanted to see more simple dinner recipes on the blog. So I have been making more of an effort to share those and today will be no different.

    One ingredient that I always make sure to keep on hand in my freezer is shrimp. It can be used in so many ways and can be prepared in minutes. Shrimp is also perfect for those times when you have forgotten to thaw out a protein for dinner. It can literally go from completely frozen to ready to cook in minutes simply by running under cool water for a few minutes.

    Want a good shrimp recipe?

    If you need a quick meal, then shrimp can help make that happen. Previously on the blog, I shared a recipe for Garlic Butter Shrimp and Buffalo Shrimp. Both of these dishes can be made in minutes and is filling enough to satisfy any hungry belly. Today I will share a hot, crispy, and flavorful dish of Sesame Shrimp.

    This dish is the perfect one skillet meal because it pairs well with a heap of steamed fresh broccoli which can be sauteed in the same pan after the sesame shrimp have been prepared. The recipe begins by placing the shrimp in a sweet and spicy egg white mixture, followed by dredging in a panko breadcrumb and toasted sesame seed mixture until lightly coated. Next fry the prepared shrimp in batches until golden, crunchy, and delicious. The perfect quick meal.
