1/2 dried chile de árbol or 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
Kosher salt
12 ounces deveined peeled rock shrimp, or large shrimp, cut into 3/4" pieces
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped peeled ginger
2 1/3 –3 cups cooked grains (such as sorghum, semi-pearled farro, or barley)

2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Combine shallots, star anise, if using, chile de árbol, and 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until shallots are golden, about 5 minutes.

Cook until lightly toasted, about 4 minutes. Add shrimp, soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil. Cook, tossing, until liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute.
