Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the salt, pepper and cornstarch. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature. Heat a wok or large sauté pan on high heat. When the pan is hot enough for a bead of water to instantly sizzle and evaporate, add only 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil and swirl to coat pan.

  2. Now add the shrimp, quickly spreading out around the pan so that they are not overlapping. Let the shrimp fry, untouched for 30 seconds. Flip over and let the other side fry for 30 seconds, or until about 80% cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan onto a plate, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible.

Judi N ★ 5.0/5

Loved the ease of this recipe. I’m not a fan of peas nor frozen vegetables so I finely diced carrots, zucchini and yellow squash for my veggies. I cooked the carrots first and threw the zucchini and squash in just before I added the rice. It was so good that my husband requested it three nights later. This recipe will definitely be part of our meal rotation.
