Ingredients

3 tablespoons peanut oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
One 2-inch piece ginger, chopped
12 ounces large peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1/2 cup Food Network Kitchen™ Inspirations Thai Style Sweet & Spicy Chili Cooking Sauce
Kosher salt
Juice from half a lime
1/2 cup torn basil and/or mint leaves
2 cups cooked, warm jasmine rice, for serving

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and stir fry until pink but still translucent in the middle, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the onions and peppers to the skillet and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Return the shrimp to the skillet along with the Thai Style Sweet & Spicy Chili Cooking Sauce. Cook, stirring, until the sauce glazes the shrimp, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat, season with salt, add the lime juice and sprinkle with the herbs. Serve with rice.

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!
