Stir Fried Bean Sprouts With Shrimp image

I found a stir fry bean sprout recipe on a web site. I made some changes, and added a few ingredients that we like. We really liked how light yet filling this dish was. We did notice however the soy sauce at the bottom of our plate when we finished. I suggest that the next time I make this, I'll mix a bit of corn starch with soy sauce or water and add it to thicken the sauce up a bit. This can be served as a main dish and serve 2, or it will serve 4 as a side dish.

This is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some shrimp that I had cooked the night before, and I just added them to the stir-fry. It was a delicious and easy meal.
