Jen’s Garlicky Shrimp Stir Fry

I was craving a garlicky stir fry tonight. I found a pound of shrimp in the freezer, and broccoli, carrots, peppers, and snap peas in the veggie drawer. Perfect! And it’s great for the 800 gram a day produce challenge! There’s 443 grams of produce on that plate. WooHoo! Hope you love it, too!

Serves 4

2 broccoli crowns – florets cut into bite size pieces
2 red peppers – chopped
6 carrots – peeled and cut into thin slices, so they cook quickly
snap peas – halved (I had half of a little bag)
Heat a little oil in a wok or big skillet over high. I like to stir fry one type of vegetable at a time and reserve so each is at their optimum doneness level.

1 pound shrimp, peeled and de-veined (I had huge shrimp, so there were only 10 in the pound, so I used a trick I learned from a Filipino cookbook I reviewed, and halved them all so they’d distribute through the stir fry better)
Add to the pan with a little oil, and toss quickly.
6-10 cloves garlic (don’t be shy!)
2 inches of grated ginger (I keep ginger in my freezer so it stays lovely. It grates even better on the microplane when frozen. Grate off what you need and pop it right back into a ziploc in the freezer.)
Toss for another 30 seconds. Add the veggies back in.

Sauce
1 Tablespoon corn starch
1/4 cup water
Whisk together.
1/4 cup soy sauce, liquid aminos, or coconut aminos
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Whisk in. Pour over the stir fry, and toss well. Plate! I served it with juicy plums. Yum!

My favorite knife. It’s a 7″ full tang Santoku. I chose the Ikon handle design, which is wonderfully ergonomic. I have spent hours on a produce sculpture before and my hand was just as comfy at the end. It’s worth the pennies.

My favorite non-stick skillet.

My favorite cast iron skillet is a 12″ Lodge dual handle pan. Why, the long handles are too heavy to hold with a single hand when they’re loaded up. Since you’re using two hands anyway, you might as well get the ones that take up less space and stack so much better!

Best sheet pan

Same sheet pan with a cooling rack/roasting rack insert. Ooooo!

I get asked about my spice wall all the time. The magnetic tins on the wall are great for any spices or salt-free blends. Salt corrodes the tins, so anything with salt is in a glass jar on the counter underneath.
