Categories     Fish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 20

STIR FRY SAUCE
1/4 c low sodium chicken broth
1/4 c low sodium soy sauce
2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sriracha sauce
2 Tbsp honey
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
2 clove garlic minced
1 Tbsp grated ginger (or ginger paste)
1 Tbsp cornstarch
SHRIMP STIR FRY
2 Tbsp canola oil
1 lb shrimp peeled, deveined and tails removed
chinese five spice
1 red pepper sliced julienne
2 c broccoli florets cut in bite size pieces
8 oz snow peas
1 small onion chopped
2 scallions chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Peel, remove tails, and devein the shrimp. Pat the shrimp dry and sprinkle both sides of the shrimp with Chinese Five Spice. Chinese Five Spice contains anise, cinnamon, star anise, cloves and ginger. If you don't like these spice simply omit the spice and season with salt and pepper.
  • 2. Whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha sauce, honey, crushed red pepper, garlic, ginger and cornstarch.
  • 3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and broccoli. Cook for about 1-2 minutes; stirring constantly. Add the red pepper and snow peas and cook for 1-2 minutes or until crisp tender; stirring constantly. Plate the veggies.
  • 4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook 1 - 1 1/2 minutes per side or until cooked through. Plate the shrimp.
  • 5. Reduce heat to low. Whisk the sauce one more time. Add to the pan and cook until slightly thickened. Add the cooked vegetables and shrimp back to the pan. Stir to combine and warm. Sprinkle with scallions and serve promptly.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp: Medium or large shrimp are best for this recipe as they hold up well during cooking and have a more meaty texture. Avoid using frozen shrimp as they can become tough and rubbery when cooked.
  • Devein and peel the shrimp: Deveining removes the digestive tract from the shrimp, which can be gritty and unpleasant to eat. Peeling the shrimp removes the shell, leaving only the tender meat.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, cornstarch, and sesame oil helps to flavor and tenderize the shrimp.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the shrimp from sticking and will also help to create a more flavorful stir-fry.
  • Cook the shrimp in small batches: Cooking the shrimp in small batches will help to prevent them from overcrowding the wok and becoming steamed instead of stir-fried.
  • Stir-fry the shrimp until they are cooked through: The shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink in color. Overcooking the shrimp will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Add the vegetables and cook until tender: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking the vegetables will make them mushy.
  • Serve immediately: Garlic shrimp stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Garlic shrimp stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use up leftover shrimp and vegetables and can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can create a delicious and healthy stir-fry that the whole family will enjoy.
