This is better than take out spicy orange peel shrimp. It's not only better in flavour but is also much healthier. It works perfectly with chicken or beef as well. It is a great week day meal which can be prepared in 30 minutes. You can adjust the spice by reducing the sriracha and sweetness by reducing the brown sugar. You can also substitute the green beans for another of your favourite veggies like broccoli or bok choy. It can be served over Jasmin or basmati rice.
