Notes

  • Use Low Sodium Soy Sauce: It makes a big difference! Regular soy sauce will overpower all those other delicious flavors in the sauce, so be sure to grab the low sodium version when you're at the store.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Add them to the skillet and cook just until they turn pink — about 2 minutes. They'll continue cooking once the sauce goes in, so pull them off the heat a little before you think they're done.
  • Make It Your Own: This stir fry is incredibly versatile! Feel free to swap in whatever veggies you have on hand — mushrooms, carrots, yellow onion, and corn are all amazing additions that work beautifully in this dish.
