Steps:
- Whisk the barbecue sauce, chili-garlic sauce and 1/3 cup water in a small bowl; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and add to the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until lightly browned and starting to curl at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until just opaque, 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the bok choy, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the barbecue sauce mixture and the shrimp. Toss until evenly coated and heated through, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Heat the rice as the label directs. Top with the stir-fry and serve with lime wedges.
SPICY BOK CHOY IN GARLIC SAUCE
Bok Choy is one of my favorite vegetables. It has its own spiciness that is complimented by the sweetness of the sauce in this recipe. I like to serve this with grilled shrimp and steamed rice. For variety, I sometimes add a small amount of lemon zest just before serving.

Steps:
- Trim off the ends of the bok choy and chop, keeping the white parts separate from the green as they will need to cook longer. Rinse and spin or pat dry. Set aside.
- In a small bowl or cup, stir together the vegetable oil and sesame oil. In a separate larger bowl, stir together the water, ginger, garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and red pepper flakes. Set this aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy stems first; stir fry for a few minutes or until the pieces start to turn a pale green. When stems are almost cooked, add the leaves; cook and stir until leaves are wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the bok choy to a serving dish. Pour the sauce into the skillet or wok, and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Pour over the bok choy and toss lightly to coat.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, ripe tangerines. Look for ones that are deep orange in color and have a sweet, citrusy smell.
- If you can't find baby bok choy, you can use regular bok choy instead. Just cut it into 1-inch pieces before cooking.
- If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet instead. Just make sure it's big enough to hold all of the ingredients without overcrowding.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
- Serve the shrimp with rice or noodles, and garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions.
Conclusion:
This spicy sweet tangerine shrimp with baby bok choy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with tangerine juice, honey, and chili peppers, and the baby bok choy adds a healthy dose of vegetables.
