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! **

SPICY ORANGE STIR FRY SAUCE
This recipe from Cooks Illustrated makes enough sauce for 1 regular stir fry recipe. The citrus flavors in this sauce are especially good with chicken and shrimp. Other options are beef strips, tofu, or a veggie stir fry. If a spicier sauce is desired, add up to 2 teaspoons more chili sauce, or just toss in a teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper. Yum-O!

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
If you like spicy peanut sauce, you'll like this dish. The sauce is smooth and creamy with a bit of kick. When stir-frying, I like to marinate the meat to add a bit more depth of flavor. I used chicken for this recipe but am sure it would also go well with pork or shrimp (of course taking into account varying cooking times of different meats).

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your stir-fry a colorful and flavorful appearance, and ensure that you're getting a variety of nutrients.
- Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables at once, they will steam instead of stir-frying, and they will not brown properly.
- Use a high-quality oil. A good stir-fry oil should have a high smoke point, which means it can be heated to a high temperature without burning.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. Stir-fried vegetables should be tender-crisp.
- Add the sauce at the end of cooking. This will prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve immediately. Stir-fry is best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Spicy stir-fry is a delicious and healthy meal that can be made in just 30 minutes. By following these tips, you can make a perfect stir-fry every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give spicy stir-fry a try.
