Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, soy sauce, cornstarch, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Prepare the Vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the frozen stir-fry vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and slightly caramelized. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Combine: Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and shrimp. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and evenly coats all ingredients. (4 minutes)

05

Step

Serve: Serve immediately over steamed rice, noodles, or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce or a splash of rice vinegar at the end.
If using fresh vegetables, adjust cooking time accordingly. Heartier vegetables like broccoli may require a few extra minutes.
Ensure shrimp is fully defrosted before cooking to ensure even cooking.
The sauce will thicken quickly, so keep stirring to prevent sticking or burning.
Customize the stir-fry with your favorite vegetables, such as snow peas, mushrooms, or bok choy.

    The shrimp turned out perfectly tender! I followed the tip about marinating it beforehand, and it made a big difference.

  • Edmond Herzog

    I found that the sauce thickened a bit too quickly, so I added a splash of extra chicken stock. It turned out great!
