The komatsuna is crisp, and the shrimp is juicy. It comes together in no time with just a quick stir-fry. It's a Japanese-style shrimp stir-fry.
The origin of this recipe
Black tiger shrimp is often used in Western-style fried shrimp or Chinese dishes flavored with chicken bouillon, so I tried pairing it with komatsuna to suit a Japanese meal.

Remove the shells, tails, and veins from the shrimp. Make a cut along the back and rub with salt and potato starch (not listed in ingredients). Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels.

Season the prepared shrimp with salt and pepper, then coat with potato starch. Cut the komatsuna into 1 1/2 to 2-inch pieces. Crush the garlic with the side of a knife and chop coarsely.
3

Add sesame oil and garlic to a frying pan. Once fragrant, add the shrimp and sear on both sides over high heat for a few seconds.

Add the komatsuna stems and stir-fry quickly, then add the leaves and stir-fry briefly. Season with salt and black pepper to finish.
