Tossing shrimp in a marinade of ginger mixed with ponzu, garlic and sesame oil gives the sautéed shrimp an Asian flair. Ponzu sauce is a sweet and tangy combination of soy sauce, lemon juice, and sugar. Look for it in the Asian section of your supermarket. The shrimp pairs perfectly with sautéed spinach and bell peppers tossed together with soba noodles. The pan juices from the sautéed shrimp marinade pull the entire dish together beautifully. This one-dish meal comes together in just 21 minutes, making it perfect for a quick weeknight supper.
