Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp zest of an orange

Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, orange zest, and cornstarch mixed with water. Set aside.
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced red bell peppers. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, until the peppers are slightly softened.
Pour the prepared orange sauce into the skillet, stirring constantly until it thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
Add the sliced green onions and cook for another minute, just until heated through.
Garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately over cooked white rice.
