STIR-FRY SHRIMP WITH SPICY ORANGE SAUCE



Stir-Fry Shrimp With Spicy Orange Sauce image

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! **

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!

Time 5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 teaspoon orange zest, grated
1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed (about 2 oranges)
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons Asian chili sauce (double if you like spicy)
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Toss with your favorite stir fry and serve hot!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your stir-fry the best flavor. If you can, try to buy them from a farmers market or local grocery store.
  • Cut your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you have a mandoline, use it to slice your vegetables thinly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-fry. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help prevent the vegetables from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned wok or skillet, you can season it by heating it over medium heat and adding a tablespoon of oil. Swirl the oil around the pan until it coats the entire surface. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat: High heat will help the vegetables to cook quickly and evenly. Stir the vegetables constantly to prevent them from burning.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end will help to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep it warm, you can place it in a covered dish in a warm oven.

Conclusion:

Spicy orange stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With its bright flavors and colorful vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give spicy orange stir-fry a try.
