Shrimp Stir Fry
Description
Shrimp Stir Fry combines sautéed shrimp with vegetables like peppers, broccoli, and snap peas, flavored with garlic and fresh ginger. The shrimp are cooked until just pink, preserving their tenderness, then vegetables are quickly stir fried to retain some crunch. Adding the sauce made from chicken broth, soy sauce, hoisin, sesame oil, and cornstarch creates a thick, flavorful glaze that melds the ingredients together.
This dish is served over rice, making it a complete and balanced meal. The garnish of green onion and optional sesame seeds adds a fresh and nutty finishing touch. The method uses a wok or frying pan, allowing for quick, even cooking at medium-high heat.
The recipe does not specify storage or substitutions but use fresh shrimp for best texture. Adjust vegetables as desired to suit available produce.
