Shrimp Stir Fry
This dish is a very simple shrimp stir fry. You can easily add more veggies to it if you wish. This is exactly how I prepare it for my family.

Ingredients
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp water
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp Hoisin sauce
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4-6 green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 pound fresh snow peas (trimmed, and ready to use)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 Tbsp minced fresh gingerroot (I like the kind that comes in the tube in the fresh herb section)
- Toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- Serve over cooked brown rice, Soba noodles or brown rice noodles.
Directions
In a small bowl, combine first six ingredients whisking until smooth; set aside.
In a wok or large non-stick skillet, stir fry shrimp in 1 tsp sesame oil and 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth; about 3 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Remove with spoon to separate plate and keep warm.
Add green onion to skillet/wok and stir fry for about 3 minutes. Next add the snow peas and stir fry for 3 minutes more until peas are crisp-tender. Add garlic and ginger root; cook 2 more minutes.
Add sauce mixture to the wok/skillet, bring to a simmer. Add shrimp and heat through. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve over brown rice.
