SWEET AND SPICY SHRIMP STIR-FRY



Sweet and Spicy Shrimp Stir-Fry image

I threw together a few random ingredients to create this stir-fry. It turned out DH thought it was the best ever and labeled it Recipezaar-worthy. The sauce is sweet and spicy with just the right amount of "kick". DH suggested the addition of sesame oil to the veggies just after they are cooked tender-crisp, which gives a little extra "something" to the dish. This recipe calls for shrimp, but one could substitute chicken or pork as well. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb shrimp, cooked
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups broccoli
1 cup carrot, julienned
1 cup onion, sliced
1/2 cup mushroom, sliced
1 cup sugar snap pea
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 cups white rice, cooked, hot

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk water, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, honey, vinegar, garlic powder and corn starch. Set aside.
  • Heat vegetable oil in wok over medium-high heat until oil begins to glisten. Add vegetables and black pepper. Saute until tender-crisp. Add sesame oil to vegetables at this point and toss to combine. Remove from wok to another dish, cover and set aside.
  • Cook rice according to package instructions.
  • Return wok to heat and add shrimp. Saute for two minutes or until heated through.
  • Return vegetables to wok. Make a well in the center of the wok and whisk in sauce until it begins to thicken. Toss all together and serve over hot, cooked rice.

Tips:

  • Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables will provide the best flavor and texture to your stir-fry. Look for brightly colored vegetables that are free of blemishes.
  • Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. For vegetables that take longer to cook, such as carrots and broccoli, cut them into smaller pieces.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help prevent the food from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or even a Dutch oven.
  • Heat your wok or skillet over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the vegetables and shrimp.
  • Add the vegetables and shrimp to the wok or skillet in stages: This will help to prevent the vegetables from becoming overcrowded and steaming instead of stir-frying.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables and shrimp constantly: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly and don't burn.
  • Add the sauce to the wok or skillet towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately: Stir-fry is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Spicy shrimp and vegetable stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, this stir-fry is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a tasty and nutritious meal, give this spicy shrimp and vegetable stir-fry a try. You won't be disappointed!
