  1. 1

    Make sauce: combine all the ingredients in a bowl; mix well and set aside. Place a stir-fry pan over high heat until hot; add oil, swirling to coat all sides.

  2. 2

    Add in lemongrass, garlic, and ginger; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add in yellow onion, red bell pepper, and green onion pieces and stir-fry until the onion slices begin to brown on the edges, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add in the shrimp and stir-fry until they begin to curl and turn pink, 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Add in the sauce and cook, stirring, until the sauce boils and thickens slightly, about 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Add in the sesame oil and toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with the chopped green onion, and serve.
