Shrimp and Vegetable Stir-Fry

Dinner Tonight: Shrimp and Vegetable Stir-Fry




Started off in the 30's this morning. But a lot of sunshine again and in the 60's. Hopefully no rain for a while, they started sanding down our wooden deck, doing some light repair to it, and hopefully get it painted. One of three outside projects that have to be done. Mom needed some items from Kroger so I went to the store for her, stopped by the post office and sent some letters out for her, and then I stopped by the bank before coming home. For dinner tonight Shrimp and Vegetable Stir-Fry. Had the Shrimp in the freezer and laid them in the fridge to thaw overnight.



I had not prepared or had Stir-Fry in a very long time, in fact way too long! So I decided last night
that was going to be dinner tonight! I laid a bag of Kroger Brand Medium Shrimp (1 lb. Bag) in the fridge overnight to thaw. When I was at Kroger earlier I picked up the remaining ingredients I needed. Along with the Shrimp I'll need; 1 can Reese Sliced Water Chestnuts, 1 can Reese Fancy Sliced Bamboo Shoots, Baby Carrots, Sugar Snap Peas, Asparagus (trimmed and cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces), Thai Kitchen Brown Rice Noodles, Low Sodium Soy Sauce (To Taste), 1 tablespoon peeled and grated fresh Ginger, 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Seeds, and a pinch or two of Splenda Brown Sugar.




In a small bowl, stir together the Soy Sauce and Ginger. Set aside. To start I preboiled the Baby Carrots about 7 minutes, drained and set aside. Carrots can take a while to soften so I boil them first to help the cooking process. Then I also boiled my Noodles by package instructions, drained and set them aside.


To prepare the dish, in a Wok on med. high I added the 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I then added
the Asparagus, Bamboo Shoots, Water Chestnuts, Sugar Snap Peas, and Baby Carrots to the Wok, and cook until tender-crisp stirring frequently (about 5 minutes). Stir in the Noodles, Soy Sauce Mixture, Brown Sugar, and Shrimp. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until all the ingredients are heated through. Serve and top with the Toasted Sesame Seeds and La Choy Rice Noodles. What a dish! The Shrimp along with the Vegetables and Seasoning is just a perfect meal. Makes me wonder why I always wait so long to prepare this. For dessert later a bowl of SO Delicious Soy Milk Chocolate Obsession, if you've never tried the So Non Dairy Products it's time!
