Notes

  • Use frozen raw shrimp instead of frozen cooked shrimp. They have a less chewy texture.
  • Use large or jumbo size shrimp if you can. They have the most flavor.
  • Always use fresh vegetables not frozen for best results.
  • You can leave the shrimp to marinate for up to 30 mins, but it’s not essential.
  • Cut your veggies into similar sizes, so they cook evenly.
  • Best veggie choices to add in: Broccoli, asparagus, mushroom, and sugar snap peas.
  • Add some red pepper flakes to add a little zing to the dish.
