How To Make Shrimp Stir Fry

The shrimp stir fry is delicious and incredibly easy to make. Shrimp, Red bell peppers, Yellow bell peppers, green beans, and scallions sautéed to perfection. Stir fry recipes do not take a long time to fix, they are versatile and also tasty.

Stir-frying is a traditional Asian cooking technique. This is usually done in a wok. It involves adding a few tablespoons of oil in a hot pan to sear foods like Meat, Shrimps or Vegetables quickly. This process helps to cook the food pretty quickly and keep them nice and crisp without burning. Likewise, it also helps the food to retain much less oil as compared to deep-frying.

This shrimp stir fry is adaptable and inventive. You can use your choice of vegetables, and this can also be done with Chicken instead of Shrimps.

As a busy mom, quick meals are my favorite, especially when they are nutritious. I like to be innovative by creating new combinations of flavors. That was how I came up with this one-pot Rice and Chicken recipe. It’s so easy and nutrient-dense as well.

I love the mechanics of ethnic cuisines so I used Ginger, Garlic and Scallion which is sometimes referred to as the Chinese Trinity because it’s the base aromatics for most Chinese staple. I also used Shrimps, bell peppers, and Green beans with a simple honey garlic sauce.

These simple ingredients cook quickly to create sweet, crunchy, salty, tender goodness and all these ingredients are what you can easily find in your local grocery.

Notes

The oil must be fully heated before stir-frying. Ensure the Oil coats all the bottom of the pan before adding your ingredients Try to ensure your meat chicken or seafood, are of even sizes to ensure even cooking. You can also toss in some fresh chopped herbs, like basil, dill, or parsley. Shrimps cook very fast so make sure you remove them from heat immediately they become pink
