Globally inspired from cultures all around the world: The Orange Shrimp 🍤
Almost everyone has tried an orange chicken dish and has a food memory associated with it. We took the classic version and elevated it by swapping in shrimp and adding some baby bok choy. Our orange sauce alone is made up of 12 ingredients. When is the first time you remember having orange chicken? 🤔
