Steps:
- Mix 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce and 2 tablespoon of the wine; pour over shrimp; set aside to marinate. Make garlic stir-fry sauce: Whisk remaining 3 tablespoon soy sauce, remaining 2 tablespoon wine, 1 tablespoon of garlic, sugar and red pepper flakes; set aside. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes. Add 2 teaspoon of the oil and raise heat to high. When oil is hot, cook shrimp with marinade until shrimp is pink, about 1 minute; transfer to a plate. Add remaining 2 teaspoon oil to skillet, then snap peas, mushrooms and remaining 1 teaspoon garlic; stir-fry about 2 minutes. Stir in stir-fry sauce and shrimp; let mixture bubble about 1 minute. Serve over rice.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your stir-fry is flavorful and nutritious. Look for crisp vegetables and plump, firm shrimp.
- Prepare your ingredients ahead of time: This will make the cooking process go much faster. Chop your vegetables, marinate your shrimp, and measure out your sauce ingredients before you start cooking.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give your ingredients room to cook evenly. If you don't have a large skillet or wok, you can cook your stir-fry in batches.
- Heat your skillet or wok over high heat: This will help to sear the shrimp and vegetables and create a delicious caramelized flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet or wok: If you add too many ingredients at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook your shrimp and vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Stir-fry your ingredients constantly: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the skillet or wok and will also ensure that they cook evenly.
- Add the sauce towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning and will also allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve your stir-fry immediately: This is when it is at its best. Serve it over rice, noodles, or your favorite grain.
Conclusion:
Low-fat shrimp and veggie stir-fry is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. It is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a healthy lunch. By following these tips, you can make a stir-fry that is packed with flavor and nutrition.
