Step 1
Toast the 2 tbsp sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking often, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl to cool.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tsp sugar until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Step 3
Pat the 1 lb shrimp dry with paper towels. If you like, slice them in half lengthwise for a more delicate bite.
Step 4
Arrange the shrimp on a serving plate. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and the 2 sliced green onions.
Step 5
Serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side. For a kick, stir in chili flakes or grated ginger if you have them.
