SHRIMP MIXTURE

STIR FRY

Tips

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels before cooking so they sear properly.

Do not cook the shrimp for too long, otherwise they will become tough. They are ready as soon as they turn pink and firm.

Stir-fry the vegetables over medium to high heat so they stay crisp and don’t become soggy.

Mix the cornstarch thoroughly with the water before adding it, otherwise you may get lumps in the sauce.

Add the shrimp back at the very end so they stay juicy and don’t overcook.

You can best serve this dish with white rice, noodles, or a fresh salad.
