This stir-fry is a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend using less oil.

I'm not a fan of shellfish, so I substituted chicken for the shrimp. It was still very good.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have a bag of frozen shrimp in my freezer and this is a quick and easy way to turn them into a delicious meal.

I'm not a big fan of romaine lettuce, so I substituted spinach instead. It turned out great!
