A Versatile Stir Fry
This shrimp stir fry recipe is incredibly versatile. With a variety of vegetables and a simple sauce that can be whipped up in minutes, you’ll have a meal ready in no time. The best part is you can use whatever vegetables are on hand, making it a perfect dish for using up leftovers.
Ingredients
- Shrimp: Look for peeled and deveined shrimp. If you prefer, you can peel and devein them yourself, but it can be time-consuming. Fresh or frozen shrimp will work equally well – just make sure to thaw them fully before cooking.
- Garlic and butter: Cooking the shrimp in a mixture of butter and garlic adds a depth of flavor.
- Vegetables: This recipe calls for mushrooms, broccoli florets, carrots, and bell peppers, creating a delightful mix of textures and colors. However, feel free to use any vegetables you prefer or have available.
- Cooked rice: Serve the stir fry over rice for a complete meal. If you prefer, you can use cauliflower rice or any other grain of your choice.
- Sauce: The sauce is a delightful combination of chicken broth, soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, vinegar, and corn starch. It strikes the perfect balance between sweet, salty, and tangy, with a thick and slightly sticky consistency.
How to Make Shrimp Stir Fry
- Begin by cooking the shrimp in a little butter and garlic to infuse them with flavor.
- Prepare the vegetables by cutting them into even bite-sized pieces, allowing for even cooking and easy eating.
- Once the shrimp is cooked, remove it from the pan and add a little more oil to cook the vegetables.
- While the vegetables are cooking, combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
- Once the vegetables are cooked to your desired tenderness, return the shrimp to the pan and pour in the sauce.
- Cook the sauce for approximately 3 minutes, or until it thickens.
- Serve the shrimp and vegetable stir fry over hot rice, and your mouth-watering meal is ready to enjoy.
