“If no one would judge us we would eat this stir fry every single night.”
I don’t think so. The sauce was not good. Too much soy, i.e., salty. Lime didn’t help and it was very thick. I’ve made changes below.
Shrimp:
- 4TBS vegetable oil, divided
- 1lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
Vegetables:
- 1small head broccoli, cut into small florets
- 8oz sugar snap peas
- 1red bell pepper, sliced
- 4oz mushrooms, sliced (Optional)
- 3cloves garlic, minced
- 1TBS minced ginger
Sauce:
- ¼cup soy sauce
- ½cup shrimp or chicken stock
- 1tsp sesame oil
- 1TBS lime juice
- 2TBS brown sugar
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 1TBS cornstarch
Steam broccoli: Bring about 4 cups of water to a boil and blanch broccoli for 2 minutes. Drain and shock in cold water until cool. Drain.
Cook shrimp: in a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 TBS vegetable oil. Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until pink, 3 to 5 minutes, then remove from skillet.
Cook vegetables: Return skillet to heat and add 2 TBS vegetable oil. Add broccoli, peas, and bell pepper and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
Finish: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, brown sugar, a pinch of red pepper flakes and cornstarch. Add to skillet and toss to coat. Add shrimp and cook until heated through, 2 minutes. If sauce is too thick add more stock.
