STIR-FRY SHRIMP WITH SPICY ORANGE SAUCE
From Cooking Light. Just like Chinese takeout or PF Chang's Orange Peel Shrimp (without the orange peel). This takes no time to make and you already have most of the ingredients. We halved the recipe and cooked up 11 large shrimp from Costco for 2 people. At first we burned the garlic and ginger, so we started over and turned the heat down to medium. Enjoy! ** I took note from a reviewer and added some steamed broccoli with the sauce in step 6 - AWESOME! **

SWEET AND SPICY SHRIMP STIR-FRY
I threw together a few random ingredients to create this stir-fry. It turned out DH thought it was the best ever and labeled it Recipezaar-worthy. The sauce is sweet and spicy with just the right amount of "kick". DH suggested the addition of sesame oil to the veggies just after they are cooked tender-crisp, which gives a little extra "something" to the dish. This recipe calls for shrimp, but one could substitute chicken or pork as well. Enjoy!

SPICY CAULIFLOWER, BOK CHOY, AND SHRIMP STIR-FRY WITH COCONUT
A stir-fry is great for a quick weeknight dinner -- to make the meal even speedier, cut the cauliflower and bok choy ahead of time, devein and peel the shrimp, and have it all ready to go in the refrigerator. You could serve this dish over brown rice, but the starchlike texture of the cauliflower makes it more than able to stand alone.

SPICY SHRIMP AND BOK CHOY STIR FRY (SOUTH BEACH DIET PHASE 1)
From new book. Haven't tried. Chili-garlic sauce is a common Asian ingredient that brings a tangy hot flavor to any dish. It can be used both for cooking and as a condiment when you want a little extra heat. Look for brands with no sugar added in the Asian section of the supermarket.

SWEET & SPICY SHRIMP & ZUCCHINI STIR-FRY RECIPE - (4/5)
Provided by rbotzl01
Number Of Ingredients 19
Steps:
- Hint: Start your rice before preparing the shrimp and zucchini. Heat up a wok or a large frying pan to high heat. Swirl in the vegetable oil. Add the garlic and cook very briefly just until aromatic, a few seconds only. Add the zucchini slices and drizzle the soy sauce on top. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes or until tender. Season with a little ground pepper, to taste. Push the zucchini to the side of the wok/frying pan. If the pan/wok is quite dry at this point, add a little more oil. Place the shrimp in one layer. Let it cook for 1 minute without stirring. Season with a little salt (just a pinch). After 1 minute, stir-fry with the zucchini until it has turned fully opaque, about 1 more minute. Quickly, stir in the sweet chili sauce and coat the zucchini and shrimp. Add a few drops of sesame oil to the mix. Serve immediately with some freshly cooked rice.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry is cooked evenly.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the shrimp and vegetables without overcrowding the pan.
- Heat the oil over high heat: This will help to sear the shrimp and vegetables, giving them a nice caramelized flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much food to the pan at once, it will steam instead of stir-fry. Cook the shrimp and vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Stir-fry the shrimp and vegetables until they are cooked through: The shrimp should be pink and opaque, and the vegetables should be crisp-tender.
- Add the sauce and cook for a few minutes: This will help to thicken the sauce and infuse the shrimp and vegetables with flavor.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Spicy 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 it can also be made with other types of seafood, such as chicken, beef, or tofu. Serve it over rice, noodles, or quinoa for a complete meal.
