Cashew Shrimp is made with stir fried large shrimp tossed with roasted cashew nuts and a sweet, sticky sauce then sprinkled with sesame seeds and cilantro. A perfect weeknight meal in a flash!
In a small bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce, maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Stir to combine and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the oil until hot. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Stir fry for 7 minutes, or until the shrimp just turn pink.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and add the brown sauce. Cook and stir until the sauce starts to bubble, then cook for 2 minutes, or until sauce thickens.
Return the cooked shrimp back to the skillet along with the roasted cashews. Toss to coat with the sauce and remove from heat.
