Start by seasoning the shrimp with salt and pepper on both sides, about half a teaspoon of each.

Heat a couple of tablespoons of cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the shrimp to the skillet and then add the minced garlic; mix them together.

Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side until they turn opaque, flipping them after a minute and a half.

Add about three-fourths of an ounce of toasted sesame seed oil and half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the shrimp; mix well.

Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside, topping them with about half a tablespoon of sesame seeds.

In a separate pan, heat about two tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped red onion and sauté for a moment before adding the broccoli; season with about a teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper.

Stir and let the broccoli cook for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to brown.

Add shredded cabbage and carrots to the pan, along with the cashews; mix everything together.

Add about two tablespoons of water to the pan and cover it to steam for about 2 minutes until the cabbage is tender.

After 2 minutes, remove the cover and check the vegetables; they should be ready to serve.
