Won't you tell us how to make, how to make some sesame shrimp? That's definitely not how the theme song goes, but it's what you'll get when you order this: crispy shrimp with the delightful, slightly sweet, slightly nutty seeds, fresh snow peas, and a garlic sesame and Sriracha sauce that's good for birds that are big, or invisible best friends. Sunny days when you order this meal, friends.
