Shrimp Tips:
The size I use is large, and is labeled as 26/30 per pound. (This means that it takes between 26-30 shrimp to equal a pound.) You can use fresh or frozen.
If using frozen shrimp: Run them under cool water until completely thawed, then pat them dry. You may also need to remove the shells/veins. I like to remove the shell after I sauté them, it helps make sure I don't overcook them, which is easy to do. For this recipe, I leave the tails on, but that is optional.
Shrimp Seasoning: Frozen shrimp are typically placed in a brine before being frozen, and the solution in the frozen container is typically salted as well, so there is no need to salt the shrimp prior to cooking.
More Pro Tips:
Frozen Broccoli may also be used (though I prefer fresh). Thaw and pat dry and proceed as outlined in the recipe.
White Wine: Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio are great wine options to deglaze the pan with. An equal amount of chicken broth may be used if you don’t cook with wine.
Hot Sauce: The hot sauce in this recipe doesn't make it hot/spicy, it's just a small amount that is used to enhance the other flavors. I use Frank's Hot Sauce.
Ingredient Additions include spinach, kale, celery, mushrooms, cauliflower, red/green cabbage, baby corn, green beans, water chestnuts, zucchini, bok choy, bamboo shoots.
To Control the Sodium in this recipe, consider using low sodium soy sauce and/or reduced sodium broth.
Topping Options include green onions, roughly chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, crunchy chow mein noodles, and sliced almonds.
Storage:
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
To reheat: Let it thaw completely and reheat in a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat until just heated through. Overcooked shrimp becomes rubbery, so try to avoid that.

I will take this Recipe
We were staying at an Airbnb with our dog. We weren’t sure how far from town it was or if the weather would allow for us to dine on a patio with our dog. So, I meal prepped this meal (and Stephanie’s steak fajitas). I put the sauce ingredients in a mason jar, cut the vegetables, leaving the red pepper separate. I measured 3T of corn starch, and bought a pound of raw, tail off shrimp. I cheated with some microwave bagged rice. This shrimp stir fry was easy to put together and tasted better than take out. The combo of vegetables was colorful. They came out crisp/tender. I will definitely make this again. It was so good!
Steph - my family absolutely loved this. The sauce was easy to make & so flavorful 😋 I opted for the brown sugar over the honey. Luv luv luv all your recipes, I'm a huge fan 🥰
This dish looks great! However, I was wondering if I could incorporate precooked jumbo shrimps instead of uncooked shrimps. And if so, how long should I warm the precooked shrimp without overcooking it.
The first thing I loved about this recipe is that it takes only 30 minutes from start to finish. Also-I love that it contains shrimp ...my family can't get enough of them and I don't always buy them without a recipe to follow. Your tips for cooking shrimp came in very handy. I always overcook them but not this time!!! The tip about the "C" shape verses the "O" shape was very helpful as well. I set my timer as suggested and they came out PERFECT!!!! The sauce is so flavorful over rice...sweet and salty and wonderful. My kids got their veggies in and commented about how good it was; and my wife and I LOVED it with the wine reduction (we used Pinot Grigio). Thank you so much Cozy Cook!!!
