Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and utensils ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and shrimp will give your stir-fry the best flavor. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
- Don't overcrowd the wok: If you add too much food to the wok at once, it will steam instead of stir-fry. Cook the food in batches if necessary.
- Stir-fry on high heat: High heat is essential for a good stir-fry. It will help to sear the food and create a nice wok hei, or "breath of the wok."
- Use a good quality wok: A good wok will distribute heat evenly and help you create a great stir-fry. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or sauté pan.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the vegetables are still crisp and the shrimp is still tender.
