Thai Shrimp
(from Stephanie D. in my ward)

2 lbs. raw, peeled shrimp
2 fresh limes
3 cloves fresh garlic, pressed
1 1/2 T. white sesame seeds
1/4 cup sesame oil
2 T. peanut oil
dash of red pepper flakes

Add sesame and peanut oil to a very hot frying pan. Add sesame seeds to the pan and quickly add shrimp. (The sesame seeds will "pop" so be careful). Toss shrimp for one minute. Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Squeeze the lime juice into the pan. Toss well, cook 1-2 minutes longer. Remove shrimp and serve over Jasmine Rice.
