Chunky peanut butter and toasted sesame oil bring two layers of nutty flavor to this simple stir-fry, while lime juice, grated ginger and Asian chili-garlic sauce (or chili crisp) bring brightness and a little heat. Both baby bok choy and shrimp cook in minutes and have lots of nooks and crannies to capture the glaze-like sauce. Offer additional chili sauce on the side for those who want more heat, and serve with steamed jasmine rice.

Tip

Don’t stir the shrimp for 3 minutes after adding them to the skillet. This allows them to develop deep, flavorful browning on the bottom. Stir only after adding the ginger and scallion whites.
